Vehicle Description
The Pontiac Catalina is an automobile which was part of Pontiac's
full-sized line from 1950 to 1981. Initially, the name was used
strictly to denote hardtop body styles, first appearing in the 1950
Chieftain Eight and DeLuxe Eight lines. In 1959, the Catalina
became a separate model, as the "entry-level" full-size Pontiac.
For 1959, Pontiac dropped the name "Chieftain" and "Super Chief"
models for its entry-level model and renamed it "Catalina", while
demoting the former top-line Star Chief to mid-line status
eliminating the two-door StarChief Catalina, the only hardtop for
the StarChief was the four-door hardtop and expanding the
Bonneville nameplate to a full flagship series that included
sedans, coupes, convertibles and Safari station wagons. In the
lower-priced Catalina line, Pontiac division advertising placed
higher emphasis on the top trimmed two- and four-door hardtops,
convertible and Safari station wagons instead of the pillared two-
and four-door sedan variants despite the fact that the four-door
sedan was the best seller in this line.
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1959 Pontiac Catalina
for consideration. The odometer is showing just over 23,000 miles
and according to the owner that is all original to the vehicle. The
exterior paint is the original white that has held up very well but
showing some fading and thinning throughout. The interior is also
believed to be completely original and is coming to you in a blue
cloth material, there are a few rips along the bench seat, but the
rest of the interior including the dash, floor, and headliner is in
great condition and show minor signs of wear. The vehicle is
powered by its original 389 cubic inch V8 with tri-power and is
paired with a silky smooth shifting automatic transmission.
According to our vehicle intake inspection; all of the exterior
lights, wipers, horn, windows, locks, heater, mirrors, are in good
working order and in great shape for the age of the car. Please
