There's something special about a full-sized Pontiac. A mixture of
big chrome, intricate bodywork, and an imposing stance made them
boulevard kings. So when a 1960 Pontiac Catalina sedan with a
powerful 389 V8 is up for grabs at such an affordable price, it's
time to take notice.
This era where Pontiacs were out to dominate the road with the Wide
Track style that made them legendary. The wide wraparound bumpers
and headlights pushed to the edges give this a road-owning stance.
And the factory-correct Coronado Red has been given a professional
respray later in life that includes a hint of a metallic element.
So it draws extra attention. This sedan has straight sheetmetal and
doors that close with authority. Not only does that give you a
quality feel, but it also means you get to really showcase some of
the most dramatic parts of the design. For example, the nice
bodywork means the full-length trim appears almost like an unbroken
line. The headlight housing creates a curved design that runs all
the way down the entire sheetmetal profile until it crafts the
reverse lights. And above that are tailfins that begin at the rear
doors and wrap around the rear to include the taillights. Oh yes,
this Pontiac has style!
Inside is a highly correct tan interior with a well
preserved/presented style. This comes from the era of presentation
when artists were the final word on design. You see it especially
in the two-tone door panels, bright trim, and artful dual-spoke
steering wheel. And highly stylized dash gives the driver all the
proper readouts, and then it quickly tapers off in an artful design
that even houses the original AM radio (it's still cranking out
tunes!) We know you love how the lower portion is so wide it has
room to spell out P-O-N-T-I-A-C. And speaking of wide, there's
plenty of room for family and friends. So you get to share this
nice presentation any time you want with the two rows of wide bench
seats and limo-like legroom.
A big sedan needs a big motor, and that's why it carries a 389
cubic-inch V8. Thanks to their durable construction, Pontiac
engines of this vintage are known for their robustness and
longevity. But more than just sturdiness, there's plenty of
performance lying within this bold blue engine bay. Topped with a
Holley four-barrel carburetor the big V8 inhales deeply, and you
get all the power to conquer any boulevard. Plus, you'll love the
sweet tune from the glasspack-style dual exhaust. And because this
want to keep you cruising with ease, there are great driving
features, like the three-speed automatic transmission and power
brakes.
Complete with owner's manual, it's hard to believe you get this
much vintage Pontiac at such an affordable price. But you're not
the only one who recognizes a great deal, so hurry up and grab this
long and sleek sedan. Call today!!!
