the original trunk mats and the cardboard trunkliners being dry at the bottom are a good indicator that this is a very nice dry SoCal car. A little low on the option count for a Bonneville (by US standards) but it has all the basics like AC, PS, PB etc.
Price is in LaLa land, and I could do without the Chicano pinstriping but overall a nice car, wonder if it was originally black, triple black really suits those cars. Never was a big fan of the 2 door long wheelbase cars (bonnie- Executive), the Catalina has nicer proportions

Off topic: has anyone replicated the cardboard trunk-liners for their car, and if so, what material did they use? I have my old pair as templates and would like to make a new set.
'64 Parisienne CS "barn find" - last on the road in '86 ... Owner Protection Plan booklet, original paint, original near-mint aqua interior, original aqua GM floor mats, original 283, factory posi, and original rust.
I thought a signature of the 69 and 70 Bonneville was a body coloured rear bumper centre section. To me, that feature makes the car immediately recognizable, but as I have seen the odd GTO with chrome rather than the body coloured elastomeric I suppose the delete is an option on the Bonneville as well!

Good eye, thats a Catalina rear bumper. I like the look of that insert on dark color cars but on the lighter colors it looks better without it in my opinion.
