Wikipedia Information"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. The 1962 Pontiacs received a heavy facelift from
the 1961 design with more rounded body contours and new rooflines
on two-door hardtops featuring convertible-like bows. Catalina
sedans and coupes got a 1-inch (25
mm) wheelbase increase to 120", after spending 1961 on a 119-inch
(3,000
mm) length shared with full-sized Chevys (Safari wagons retained
the 119-inch (3,000
mm) wheelbase through 1964). Most regular engine and transmission
offerings were carried over from 1961 with the 389
cu
in (6.4
L) Trophy V8, ranging in power ratings from 215
hp (160
kW) to 348
hp (260
kW). A small number of 1962 Catalinas and other Pontiacs were built
with a "non-streetable" 421
cu
in (6.9
L) Super Duty V8 with two four-barrel carburetors and 405
hp (302
kW), as a US$2,250 option (when the base Catalina listed at
US$2,725), along with various "over the counter" performance
options offered by Pontiac including aluminum bumpers and even
lighter frames with drilled holes (which were dubbed the "Swiss
cheese" frames)."American Dream Machines
