198х Pontiac Bonneville

I liked that 198x Oldsmobile from Old Good 80s Contest so much I couldn't resist myself...

daamn, I thought its a 1989 one because I modeled one. That would have been funny. But, hey a modern american car great work man, I love it like every other car from that era an the usa. Keep up, I have to see it in gta. Any plans with interior or engine stuff?

Thanks, it's 10024 tri's at the moment for the body w/out the wheels. But I plan to cut some, since the car is basically a box so it doesn't need that many polies.

Thanks! I actually thought mine was '89, but as it appears now it's a 1983 or 1984 (so it's not that "modern" ). I'd like to add interior and engine but that depends on good reference pictures availability.
GTA? That may work, even though I've never converted anything into it (I prefer Mafia in fact ).

Small update on the rear end:

hmhm needs hydrolics

No problem, there are a dozen of professional converters in the gta scene that would love to do it for you. Ill go and search some ref material for you now.

Ah, a wire would be very interessting.

Maybe you can find something useful here, kinda hard to find good stuff for this car:

Thanks for the links, but I already took pretty much everything from Cardomain. Too bad none of those members took any pictures of the frame and suspension.
As for GTA, well, at first at have to finish the model, then I'll think about possible games to use it in.

And here comes a wireframe (still needs some optimization):

[tiberius]

A good choice, this was the same sedan style as the Buick Century/Regal, Olds cutlass and Chevy Malibu. 1982 was first year when the big Pontiac became the Parisienne in the U.S. the car was built to 1986. This will be great for many car games. if you can find an underside image of any of its GM counterparts listed above since the only difference is generally front and rear fascias and body trim .suspension and frame is the same. generally. ( the Malibu had a heavy duty suspension package due to Police fleet usage where the others did not) 1982 Pontiac Grand LeMans-Cdn-03
the link shows the Canadian Grand Lemans, which is the same car and this page shows the dash and one interior shot.

Same style? Its the same car just rebadges a cupple of times lol (mmm will kill me now ).

Different bumpers and stuff. Its interessting that he has chosen the bonneville since its the most rare car of the vehicles that have used this platform Atleast it seems like its a lot easier to find pics of the other ones.
