It could be a variety of different things. What is the year & trim level? How many miles on the car? What is the condition of the tires? When was the last wheel balance or alignment? Sorry for all the questions, but if you provide more detailed info on the prob, you'll probably get more responses.

I've officially decided this qualifies as a common problem. I have a 94 SE and mine does the same things, im still working on diagnosing, but i've narrowed it to bent rims and a cylinder misfiring (i'll post if i can identify that as the problem). My next step is to find some junkyard wheels, and use contact cleaner on all my electrical connectors under the hood (i've been told to pay attention to the fuel injectors.)--as that might be the reason the cylindar is misfiring
thats where i'm at. Do all the typical - tune up stuff (plugs, wires, fuel filter, etc..) and go from there. Also Get the wheels balanced and aligned.

My Bonnie was doing this last fall. Does the shaking usually start around 45-55MPH and happen frequently when going uphill? If you keep your foot on the accelerator but tap the brake with your left foot, does the shaking stop? If so, then you are experiencing "torque converter shudder." The torque converter is part of the transmission but the problem can be caused by several different factors. In my case the problem was solved by replacing the the spark plugs. They had 50,000 miles on them so they were due anyway!
