Overview of 1959 Pontiac Catalina Convertible For Sale by Owner

The 1959 Pontiac Catalina Convertible captures Pontiac at the dawn of its Wide-Track era, when the division was moving toward the bold styling and performance identity that would define the 1960s. Showing just 3,138 miles, this Catalina combines its sweeping open-top bodywork with a 389ci V8, 2-barrel carburetor, and 4-speed Super Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Power steering, power brakes, factory air conditioning, and a power-operated convertible top add desirable cruising amenities to a car already defined by unmistakable late-1950s presence.

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of this 1959 Pontiac Catalina Convertible is finished in White, highlighting the long, low proportions and dramatic detailing of Pontiac’s full-size convertible. Its split-grille front fascia, quad headlights, extensive brightwork, and sculpted body sides give the Catalina a distinctive identity from every angle. Rear fender skirts further emphasize its sweeping profile, while full-size wheel covers and whitewall tires complete the period appearance. A White power convertible soft top allows the car to transition from a traditional full-size cruiser to an open-air Pontiac at the touch of a control. The interior of this 1959 Pontiac Catalina Convertible is finished in Red & White, creating a vivid contrast against the White exterior. The color-matched dashboard is surrounded by the chrome and bright trim characteristic of Pontiac interiors from the period, with full instrumentation positioned ahead of the driver and a column-mounted automatic shifter keeping the cabin open and spacious. Factory air conditioning is an especially notable comfort feature for a 1959 convertible, while the broad seating, red carpeting, and expansive dashboard deliver the unmistakable atmosphere of a late-1950s American cruiser.

Engine

Under the hood is Pontiac’s 389ci naturally aspirated V8 equipped with a 2-barrel carburetor and paired with a 4-speed Super Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Power is delivered to the rear wheels, retaining the straightforward drivetrain layout expected of a full-size Pontiac from the period. Power steering and power brakes complement the V8 and automatic combination, giving this Catalina the equipment needed for relaxed top-down cruising while retaining the character of Pontiac’s early Wide-Track era.

The 1967 Pontiac GTO is one of those cars that needs very little introduction. By the late 1960s, the GTO name had already become synonymous with big-displacement V8 power, bold styling, and the kind of straightforward performance that helped shape the muscle-car era. Showing approximately 62,464 miles, this example brings that formula together with a 400ci V8, three-speed automatic transmission, Linden Green Metallic paintwork, a Black Cordova vinyl top, and a black vinyl bench-seat interior. Its character is further sharpened by aftermarket wheels, redline radial tires, an aluminum radiator, and a number of chrome engine-bay accents that give the car a tasteful enthusiast-oriented presentation.
