Another masterpiece fron Danbury Mint offered hers is..A New-In -Box 1958 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible in Turquoise , that was kept in storage the box never been opened until I inspected before listing. Complete with Title. A Review by Die cast List & Review by Tony Perrone says the following.... The ’58 model year of the Bonneville has been a long time in coming. It is one that a good many of us have clamored for. Danbury’s big Bonnie appears in ‘full dress’ with skirts and a continental kit. It is optioned out in its very best boulevard finery with everything you might expect to see on it in 1958. The skirts are removable but due to the inherently large nature and working order of the connie kit, the latter is static and not made to come off. And while I am not a devotee of the continental kit the car somehow just does not seem appropriate without it. If the Barrett-Jackson Auction® is any indicator, cars optioned with as many factory and dealer accessories as possible seem to fetch far more than the standard versions usually do. Danbury spared no quarter in putting this model together. We expect a fine fit and finish and this early production sample proves to provide guaranteed satisfaction. The deep Mallard Turquoise, the darker of the two colors, is a foot thick and as glossy as a mirrored country lake. More green, actually, than blue, it is brilliant in person and close up. The fit is laser straight; and there was ample opportunity for there to be mistakes. As the twin chrome spears widen from front fender to door to rear fender, there is never a waiver or faltering line. These chrome trim pieces are inset within the body lines to boot, making the fit even more crucial and DM nailed it. More chrome trim is visible on the top of the doors, simulating the window tops and on the rear fenders as they outline the window exits for the back seat passengers. Perfection. Take time to study the chrome-foiled metal badgings and emblems on this piece, perhaps the best I have yet to see. “Bonneville”, in gold script, adorns the lower front fenders while, “Bonneville” in chrome lettering, makes a bold statement on the trunk and hood edges. Additionally, tri-colored, “Tri-Power” badges add sparkle to the upper front fenders. As I mentioned, the fender skirts are a display option you can take off. By doing so you expose more of the wheel and tire visibility. That’s a good thing; DM took their time getting them right. The wheel itself is body color. The insert of the wheel cover is delicately detailed with tiny fins. The center cap is lettered with white paint exclaiming, “Pontiac”, right side up and upside down. Oh yeah, valve stems too. The chassis beneath the behemoth is Danbury-excellent; lots of detailing to put the model over the top. Aside from the metal brake lines we now see a fuel line, in black, running from the gas tank to the front portion of the car. There are engine cradle and transmission studding, in silver, to delineate more detail and of course the suspension is workable and still provides the perfect stance. The front of the car rides on coil spring suspension and the entire ‘A’ frame articulates as with the real car. In back we see a modern miniature marvel where the wheel travel is modulated via coil spring suspension, working shocks and moving suspension arms Shipped to any contiguous U.S. State $10.00.
