agreed with standard level Bonneville (not a Brougham) rather than LeMans... why 1979 rather than 1978..?

The front sidemarker tells me that is 1979 version.

Yep, the 1977 has multiple thin horizontal bars.

i'm seeing this style beginning in '78 both in the only retro ad i found online, and in the (often mistaken) standard catalog of american cars... certainly doesn't mean you're not right... as you generally are. my personal knowledge of 60s pontiac is pretty fair, but by the late 70s... not good enough to know from memory.

Hmm.. :think: I'll double check with Tad Burness book.

curious to know. the standard catalog is often wrong, and i frequently see ads listed by publication year rather than model year... so you could very well be right... those were just the 1st two examples i found.

Comparison photos from 1978 and 1979 Bonneville brochures illustrate rjluna2 is indeed correct.
Listing this as a 1979.

an_unusual_eye wrote actually... the one that you have linked as a 1978 "introduces the 1977 Bonneville"... so we still don't know what the '78 looked like :)

I have been looking at that for many years trying to find out the difference between 1977 and 1978 Pontiac Catalina taillights and whatnot on the road :p
