    I can remember when I was a little kid my brother in law who is 85 years old now and still in good health, bought a 1959 olds brand new. It looked a lot like that Pontiac.Those trunks were big enough to haul livestock in. Thanks for posting.

      It was a super cool car. The last time I was at the yard they told me a gentleman up north purchased it and had it shipped to him.

    My uncle had that exact same car back in the 60's, it was a metallic cranberry color and he had these hubcaps that were pointed on it. Then he had a powder blue '64 Catalina with a 389 and a four speed, oh man he loved that car! Then he had a red '67 Catalina fastback.

    Big wheels. Great beach cruiser.. nice yard art polished up. Somewhere to listern to some good music. Plywood floors . Make a Bbq pit in the trunk. Something to stand around. Cool colour.. good video. Cheers..

    That car is restoreable just put a full floor in it and the body would be read it again.i have done enough of them..take the front cap off and raise it up and slide the floor in. I just finished a 63 grand prix that ways they make everything nowadays.
