Vehicle Description
A beautiful presentation of a restored hardtop, a loaded interior
with well-placed upgrades (including modern A/C), and plenty of V8
power are all part of the package that makes this 1961 Pontiac
Catalina Bubble Top an absolutely awesome boulevard machine.
Just imagine the looks you're going to get in this coupe. No one
would dare go to the expense of producing this kind of amazing
intricate design today. These distinct hardtops earned the "bubble
top" nickname for the beautiful profile that features curved glass
front and rear. It's especially handsome in a glossy white. We're
told this finish is part of a comprehensive restoration that was
completed only about three years ago. And you can tell the aim was
to keep this coupe looking distinguished. This is the debut year
for the generation, and they really made the most of the Wide Track
look with the dual grilles separated by the hood. This example
shows it off particularly well with the grilles and big wraparound
bumper shining brightly. There have been plenty more investments in
the brightwork, so that you can really recognize the elegant side
trim that is placed within the curves of the rather straight sheet
metal. And we absolutely love the way the rear bumper flows right
into that hint of tailfin. Plus, real Pontiac fans will marvel at
the wheels. They are the classic 8-lug alloy designs, but they have
been upgraded to 15 inches to make a wider array of tires
available.
The red interior almost feels like it's radiating from within the
white exterior. So you'll want to leave all the side windows down
on this pillarless hardtop because people are going to get drawn on
for a better look inside. For you, the joy is the moment you slip
behind the stylized steering wheel, and gaze over the bright and
beautiful dash, you get that instant feeling of nostalgia. They
paid attention to keeping this vintage while still delivering a car
you're going to want to enjoy. For example, the original radio may
be on display, but your real music comes from a modern AM/FM/CD
stereo that's hidden away in the glovebox. And the well-integrated
tilt steering column and Stewart Warner auxiliary readouts make
this a better driver. This is a full-size coupe that's ideal for
sharing with family and friends, and so that's why there are
comfort features like the air conditioner that's running on modern
R134a refrigerant.
Under the hood is a proper Pontiac V8 with a beautifully clean
presentation. Fans of the GTO recognize the 389 cubic-inch motor,
and it's a great powerplant to have here, too. In fact, this one
has been given a hint of a muscle car makeover with a four-barrel
carburetor and a dual exhaust. But as a true cruiser, it's just the
good power and supple ride that makes this your new favorite. Plus,
you also have the three-speed automatic transmission, power brakes,
and power steering to deliver a bubble top that's ready to own the
boulevard.
This is the sharp-looking and strong-running full-size coupe that
has been given all the right investments. So you know you need to
get your hands on this one right now. Call today!!!
