– General Motors will stop making the Pontiac Bonneville this summer after 47 years of production. Pontiac first used the Bonneville name in February 1957 at the Daytona Beach races but didn’t introduce it on a product line until 1958. It was the first Pontiac with fuel injection and was available only as a convertible initially. Pontiac sold nearly 100,000 Bonnevilles as recently as 1992, but demand fell to 29,852 in 2004.
