New member and owner of a 1994 Bonneville SE

Post by Bmartin1994 »

Bmartin1994 Hello all! Yes another newbie here and willing to learn all I can about my 1994 Bonneville SE. I've only owned it for a few months but have always liked this body style. I can remember sitting in one at the DC Convention Center back in '94 at the new car show. It was the same exact color combo Green exterior and saddle/beige leather interior. Weird huh? Well a little about me, I'm retired (way too early) due to health issues and absolutely love cars and wrenching. I'm very anal about keeping my cars clean. (from growing up poor, you learn to respect and take care of what you own a little more, well at least I do).
I'm looking forward to getting to know y'all and share info!

Glad you joined and that I'm not the only one "retired" for the same reasons! This is definitely the place for knowledgeable help. I strongly suggest reading through the TECHINFO section if you haven't done so already. I have a '92 SSE green/beige interior. We purchased it new November '91 for the wife. I "retired" the car after a mechanic "fixed" it February 2014. Post photos of your Bonneville as soon as you have a chance. - BC

welcome, fellow 92-95 owner. As far as the shift bulbs (i havent had to replace yet) but I believe you simply remove the shift cover part of the console and the bulbs should be right there. Not sure what size they are though, and how difficult it would be to remove them.

Im also a new member and my old 93 Bonneville was a dark green on tan cloth. I always thought it was a beautiful color combo. My dad bought it for me because he thought I deserved it as I wasnt a hooligan. Truth is he used to "borrow" and leave me with his van all the time . People used to ask if it was my moms car, but true to "A Christmas Story" my mom was an Oldsmobile woman, and she sported a medium blue Achieva.
