65 Pontiac Bonneville Tripower.

I guess I have the February blues again...I think I have bought most of my cars in February...out of boredom and depression. If I just buy this I'll feel really happy again....a few months later....I'm WTF did I buy this for????!

Anyway. It has four wheels 14" diameter and is pretty much the polar opposite of a 240d. and my main excuse for buying it is I need it to take the grandkids to the ice cream store.

What is it?

14" wheels? It's either a 1958 Thunderbird or a tandem baby stroller.

I'm going with a Porsche 914/6.

It's the polar opposite of a 240D, and originally came equipped with 14" wheels.

I am chuckling at the idea that you think I'd buy this to take my 10 local grandchildren to the ice cream store!

Interestingly it appears to be the same color.
