I have seen coupe versions of both the LeSabre and 88 but I notice Bonneville didn't have this option. I would think since Pontiac is considered the performance brand of GM it would have had a coupe version also :?:

Can any BC photo shop experts show us how they could have looked?

Why? Pontiac already had plenty of 2-door models, in the F and W bodies.

If anyone does this promise me that you'll put a second L67 where the back seat was.
