About the Pontiac Bonneville Special Bronze BoS Models 1:18
TL;DR: BoS Models' 1:18 resin Pontiac Bonneville Special reproduces the 1954 GM Motorama show car in bronze, an extremely limited fiberglass two-seater named after the Bonneville Salt Flats. Sealed resin holds the sculptural body sharply defined. A rare subject for a concept-car collection.
GM's Motorama show cars of the 1950s existed to dazzle, and the Bonneville Special dazzled hard enough that its name later carried forward onto Pontiac's most famous production nameplate.
Sealed Resin for a Sculptural Show Car
This low, two-seat fiberglass body relies entirely on sculptural surfacing rather than sharp mechanical detailing, and sealed resin construction handles that continuous, flowing shape with real precision, since a car built as a static show piece was never designed around opening panels in the first place. BoS Models regularly takes on exactly this category of rare, historically important concept and show cars, subjects too limited in original numbers to interest mainstream diecast manufacturers. The bronze finish highlights the Bonneville Special's dramatic, low-slung stance, a shape built purely to turn heads on a rotating Motorama turntable.
A GM Show Car That Named a Legend
General Motors built the Bonneville Special as a Motorama concept car in 1954, a low, sleek fiberglass two-seater named in reference to the Bonneville Salt Flats land-speed-record venue. Only a small number were built, making the original something close to a rolling art piece rather than a production prospect. Its name would go on to far greater fame a few years later, applied to what became one of Pontiac's most successful and long-running production models, though the original show car itself remains a genuine rarity.
A Rare Piece of GM Design History
This Bonneville Special belongs in any serious 1950s American concept-car display, its rarity and design significance both well beyond what its modest fame today might suggest.
