Continuing the fascination with older American sedans, here’s where GM really excelled in design – with its hardtop sedans. Who needs a silly b-pillar holding your roof up when style is in question? These cars really let you have it all – the style of a coupe, the practicality of a sedan, the power of a sports car, and the handling of Grandma’s chesterfield. They’ve become fairly unusual today, although many manufacturers strive to emulate the look of a pillarless sedan by blacking out the b-pillar. Today’s example of this body style is a 1968 Pontiac Bonneville, for sale in Turlock, CA (east of San Francisco) for $2800.

Who Doesn’t Like Hardtops? – 1968 Pontiac Bonneville
January 22, 2014Pre-Escort – 1961 Ford Anglia
January 12, 2014So we’re going to get through this whole posting without mentioning what movie this car appeared in, right? Right. Okay, as with many older little British economy cars, you can find nicely restored examples near the $10,000 mark, or absolute sheds needing a full restoration that will cost you more than the $10,000 car did in the first place. So it’s refreshing to find what appears to be a nicely weathered one of these cars available – it’s this 1961 Ford Anglia for sale for $3500 in Olympia, WA.
