Triumph's first Bonneville was 1959. The Pontiac Bonneville came out in
'57. Pontiac does have a lot of experience in stealing other's brand
names, like GTO and Le Mans, for instance. I can't understand a Pontiac
Lemans, though. They certainly never raced there and the car didn't any
racing credentials that I can recall. Of course, in Pontiacs case, GTO
stood for Garbage Truck Options.
