In Our Garage with Marc Obrowski's 1963 Pontiac Bonneville

How long have you had your vehicle and where did you get it from?

We bought it about 10 years ago in Melbourne.

It's a 1963 Pontiac Bonneville, and I think there's only one or none of this kind in Australia.

Have you modified the car at all?

No changes at all.

This is an original car and I want to keep it this way.

It is perfect. It doesn't need to be improved.

I will not lower it. I will not change anything.

I just keep it in good repair, in good condition.

What are the specifics of the car?

Under the bonnet is a 6.4 litre V8 and that was the smallest engine you can buy with this car.

It has a 303 horsepower.

It is a high compression engine, which means unfortunately it needs the most expensive petrol.

What I like about the engine specifically, it's very strong, it's very big and it's perfect for driving, very relaxed and very slowly.

It's not a loud engine, it doesn't have a loud exhaust system.

It is a car for leisurely and relaxed cruising.

Why do you love the Pontiac Bonneville?

I have always loved American cars since I was a little child and I've had a few!

I bought some in America.

I had one here before and I went overseas and I sold the car and I thought, it's stupid to have big cars like that.

Then I found myself almost every night looking at the classifieds for big American cars.

I found this beauty here in Melbourne.
