Car Model

A video of a 1957 Pontiac Bonneville and a Franklin Mint model of the same that I have.
It was actually a Star Chief with more chrome and of course the fantastic engine options.
The Bonneville everyone remembers came out as a hard top and convertible in 1958 and twins to the 1958 Chevy Impala hardtop and convertible.  This '57 is very rare.
I thought you'd like a look at this extremely rare 1957 Pontiac Bonneville Convertible. 1957 was the first year for the Bonneville and it was only offered as a convertible. When it was introduced, the Bonneville was the fastest Pontiac ever produced. This Bonneville is number 116 of the only 630 produced in 1957.

Merry Christmas

We dodged the bullet last week and missed the snow that dumped 10 inches in western KS.
It's now clear with temperatures predicted to be near 50 all week.  Not bad for Christmas.
I spent most of the day at the usual shopping areas and didn't find huge crowds.
