I'll take the Bonneville Safari with all the options!

[@mattt198654321]

I love the random transition from hang gliding to station wagons... OK... LOL

[@reallyrandomrides1296]

A Catalina wagon with a 350 diesel, woodgrain sides, wire wheel covers and whitewall tires with a bench seat and column shift automatic would be pretty sweet!

[@user-xj4jh8ho4x]

Those diesels self-destructed so there are very few left. You’re better off with the gasoline version lol

[@67marlins]

​@@user-xj4jh8ho4x 1981 and later 5.7 diesels with the DX block lasted just fine. Many people still drive them.

Reallyrandomrides - Make sure to check-off Power Windows too.
Remember though, if a Pontiac 301 fits, so will a Pontiac 455.

[@GeraldMcveigh]

My Mom drove a Lemans it was fast, I can remember going over steep hills feeling like I was on a roller coaster 😅😂❤😊 😆 lol Good times !!❤😊

[@ramoncarter6585]

I enjoyed watching these old videos wish had days like this today back than when station wagons were more like sport utilities and pickups load up anything. The Bonneville Safari was a nice station wagon love all this Pontiac cars except Phoenix and Firebird.

At 0:25, I owned an exactly the same one. That example had been assembled in GM's Bienne/Biel CH factory. 4.9 Litre (301 cui) V8 petrol with 4 barrel Rochester carburetor. Absolutely reliable it had been.

[@gorillaplays8926]

I love the white wall tires

[@markbehr88]

Love the videos

[@pl5624]

This voiceover talent did the 1977 chrysler/plymouth intro.

[@rightlanehog3151]

Enjoy an exciting Safari every day and still sleep in the comfort of your own bed with no mosquito netting required!😉 In regard to the unfortunate X-Car Phoenix, I am sad to say that is
one Phoenix that will never rise from the ashes. 😂

[@WSNO]

Set me up with a cement building with showroom windows and a huge parking lot and i'll have these selling like hotcakes

[@arn7992]

Great video! And good quality for older videos.

[@noway5590]

New car smell, the 1980 grand prix felt so good

[@daviatorcustoms3168]

Within a couple years, the Lemans wagon would vanish and the 6000 and Sunbird wagons would be added to the Pontiac lineup and the Bonneville safari became the Parisienne wagon and remained popular until being discontinued in 1989.

[@rightlanehog3151]

True.

[@Andyface79]

I don’t know if it was that popular. I was in school by then and most people had minivans. One family did have one of these in white.

[@pl5624]

Renamed safari wagon.

[@birdbangbobaruni]

Long wagons for Long trips to wally world 🌎

"When doooo the new Cadillacs come out?"
What show?

[@steveferguson823]

Was class of 1980 go class of 1980 1980 had good music. 1980 had good. Cars

[@abdulazizmuhali7836]

Cancellation of Pontiac cars is a big loss. G.M has lost a hallmark in the G.M Collection. I am surprised that G.M has canceled this important car in its collectioniii

[@MSX98FMDnB]

love the b-body cars!
do you have a dealer film on the 1991 caprice? i know theres one promo on youtube

[@Andyface79]

Yeah the seats fold down but you can't open the rear windows!

[@paulparoma]

Would you rather it were the other way around? C'mon, man!

[@Andyface79]

@@paulparoma I don’t think its too much to ask for both. Ford and Chrysler had no problem with that.

[@paulparoma]

@@Andyface79 I was being facetious, but you replied in all seriousness.
