Vehicle Description
This 1962 Pontiac Catalina has all the right investments to remind
you why Pontiac arguably had the best stable of cruisers. So check
out the outstanding full-blue package on this V8 pillarless hardtop
classic.
The factory-correct Yorktown Blue sets the tone nicely. It was
given a quality respray later in life, and there's even a hint of
metallic element that lets the sunshine really show off this well
preserved sheetmetal. Pontiac's of this era were out to dominate
the road with the Wide Track style that made these a legend. It
includes the wraparound chrome bumpers that were integrated so
nicely into the design lines; the bright grille that came to a
point to showcase the Pontiac's arrowhead; and the extra wide rear
fenders flared to draw your attention where the power was meeting
the ground. This Catalina truly owned the boulevard back in the
day. It still has that presence now, right down to the special
distinct 8-lug wheels.
One of the best reasons for having a pillarless hardtop is so
people can get a terrific view inside when the windows are down.
And this one really show off that appeal. The triple-tone blue on
the seats is pure 1960s style, and the condition today looks like
it was locked away in a time capsule. And the door panels are even
done to match. Plus, the headliner, carpeting, and dash all look
great as they coordinate with a package that has all the appeal of
a deep blue ocean. The curved windshield and ultra-wide dash give
this a feeling of expansive luxury in this full-sized coupe, and so
those who love true vintage style will love going for a ride. You
really see a well-preserved vintage style everywhere from the AM
radio that's on display to the full-size spare in the trunk.
The engine bay stays faithful to this car's classic image, right
down to the black air cleaner, factory decals, and turquoise paint
on the block. Fans of the soon-to-come GTO know the Pontiac 389
cubic-inch V8, and it's a great powerplant to have here, too.
There's a bit more grand touring weight in the Catalina compared to
the Goats, but this powerhouse has the right torque to keep it a
true confident cruiser. It fires up readily and it ready to hit the
road. Plus, power steering, power brakes, and a stout but smooth
TH400 three-speed automatic transmission all make you want to take
this one out every weekend.
This is the full blue coupe with outstanding all-around appeal. So
if you love a true classic, you know you don't want to let this
Catalina slip away. Call today!!!
