Pontiac Catalina 389 1959
General description :
Cruisin Classics is proud to show off a new arrival. This 1959 Pontiac Catalina Convertible is ready for the road. It boasts a numbers matching 389ci engine that is matched with a Hydramatic Automatic Transmission (also a 1959). Please check out other Catalina's for price and condition as we are well aware of what we have. For the person looking for the occasional car show car, your ready to go. For the person looking to take this to the next level, you will not find a better rolling project and when you figure in what they are worth in excellent condition, it's almost a no-brainer. The top is power and definitely newer (no idea how old but in good shape). Power steering will also help with the drive. The drive is what you would expect out of a bigger car i.e.., very smooth and floaty. The interior consists of red and white colored bench seats, red and stainless dash facia and red carpet. Overall the interior is in very good condition considering the age. The red paint is of driver quality but with a shine that will turn heads. The stainless is in great shape and the chrome is great in most spots but has a couple spots with a little pitting (little). Again to the person looking to possibly take this to the next level, this is one heck of a start. The tires are brand new. They are wrapped around steel wheels and the correct vintage hubs. The car starts right up and goes right into gear for a very beautiful cruise. Put the top down and go. Give us a call if we can put this in your driveway.
