Agree 100% Frosty ! I’ve always thought it was better to sell to the end user if possible .

I use Plasti-Kote #208 Pontiac Blue. Don’t know if there’s another name for the color.

Frosty, it’s my car photographed in front of my house. We bought the ‘59 in November of 1977 with 42,000 miles on it and have had it since then.
We have driven it to many POCI conventions and in 1982 (IIRC) we had it in Minnesota where we met Dimitrie and he fell in love with our Bonneville. When I declined his offer of a trade for his car at the show, he began a hunt to find one.
Our Bonneville now has 109,000 miles . Dimitrie had an article in Smoke Signals over a year ago about his ‘59.
If you talk to Dimitrie, I’m sure he can tell you a lot more about the history of our “twin” ‘59 Bonnevilles.

There is a machined flat area on the front of the block below the passenger side head ( possibly under some dirt and grime) that should have 2 letters stamped into it. That 2 letter code will help identify the engine. I’m sure the engine codes are available online.

The engine in the ‘66 (if original) is probably a 389 , but also could be a 421 ! In 1967 the sizes increased to 400 and 428.

Thanks Frosty. Yes , an automatic choke would have been easier, but I wanted period ( ‘60’s ) looking dual quads (AFBs). My engine builder found this pair of Carter 500’s online with no automatic choke and I said OK. I like the SD 421 inference.
