Catalina sounds quite exotic, doesn’t it? Well, it’s a fitting name for Pontiac’s top-of-the-line offering of the '50s and '60s. Initially seen as a trim level for the Chieftain in 1950, the Catalina became its own model line-up by 1959. The range would expand over time to cover coupes, convertibles, hardtops, sedans, and station wagons. So why not experience a slice of Catalina goodness, with this 1962 Pontiac Catalina Convertible? The car has done 75,000 miles and is for sale by its original owner.
This 1962 Pontiac Catalina Convertible has got quite a nautical theme going, thanks to its Sky Blue paint job and overall length, which really embodies the term Land Yacht. Stretching to around 210 inches in length, this is clearly a large automobile. You’ll note the extensive front and rear overhangs too, because the wheelbase is nearly 100 inches shorter than the car’s overall length. Then, you’ll find chromed bumpers and trim, dual headlamps, and a white convertible top. You need not exert much energy to deploy or lower this top; since this is a flagship car, you’ve got power assistance for the task. Simply operate the chrome switch in the center of the dashboard marked ‘top’, and it’s all done for you. The car rides on a set of Michelin tires, wrapped around a set of chrome wheels. The passenger cabin of this 1962 Pontiac Catalina Convertible features a matching blue theme, and provides front plus rear bench seats. With the top dropped, you can almost imagine the sheer joy of driving this vehicle, with one elbow resting atop the driver’s door, sunglasses on, enjoying the attention from onlookers as you drive by. The dashboard hosts the original push-button radio, but there’s a newer Blaupunkt unit with CD player installed directly beneath the upper dashboard. You’ve also got a heater for comfort on cold days and nights.
Even though this 1962 Pontiac Catalina Convertible is a sizable automobile, its 389ci V8 should have no trouble moving it around without annoying other road users. Thanks to its trio of carburetors and added cams, the engine should make a healthy amount of power too. Furthermore, you’re in control of that power, thanks to the car’s manual transmission. However, with drum brakes on all four wheels, you’ve still got ample stopping power.

Long, sleek and majestic, the Pontiac Catalina was the iconic brand’s full-size offering for over thirty years. Introduced in 1950 as a trim line, then a stand-alone model in 1959, the Catalina would become one of Pontiac’s most popular models. If you’ve always wanted to be the proud owner of a Catalina, because let’s face it, who wouldn’t, we’ve got a 1962 Pontiac Catalina Restomod for your consideration. This car packs a tasty surprise beneath the hood, and is ready to turn heads.
The Pontiac Catalina was Pontiac’s full-size offering between 1950 and 1981. The Catalina was initially a trim offering on the automaker’s Chieftain, before becoming its own nameplate. Pontiac made the Catalina with many body styles, including a sedan, station wagon, convertible and coupe. This 1963 Pontiac Catalina Sport Coupe is probably the sportiest offering of the line-up, and it looks fantastic, having just 38,300 miles on the clock. The current owner reports that the car was recently appraised in June 2024 as well.
Muscle cars have been the epitome of American performance and are the machines that are revered worldwide for being unfiltered and ready to ensure infinites smiles per gallon. While the Pontiac GTO is not just a star of mainstream media — the would rule every drag strip they thunders down. One can truly enjoy Pontiac's finest by stepping into this 1968 Pontiac GTO. This uber-cool muscle car build pays tribute to an iconic muscle machine from the ʼ60s and is reported to have all its receipts and documentation to showcase its build journey.
There have been very few machines that have matched up to the allure and status of the original Pontiac GTO. Turn back the clock to the ’60s and the world of muscle cars was at an all-time high. Each manufacturer churned out what would be some of the world's greatest machines, and present today is one of the greats from the 60s which takes shape with this 1966 Pontiac GTO with just a reported 10,875 miles on its clock.
Pontiac’s Chieftain is a model that ran between 1949 and 1958. It was Pontiac’s full-size car and the first post-war design to be produced by this famed American automaker. Sadly, since Pontiac is no more, classics like this 1956 Pontiac Chieftain Station Wagon are all the more desirable. This particular car will have no doubt been the regular conveyance of a family in its heyday, its spacious passenger cabin and accommodating trunk filled to capacity on multiple occasions. Now, the vehicle enjoys a second life as something of a restomod and awaits a new owner who will take it on new adventures.
What do you get when you imbue an Eighties car with Twenties (no not Twenty Twenties, but Nineteen Twenties) styling? That’s precisely what Excalibur aimed to do. This Milwaukee-based outfit was the work of Clifford Brooks Stevens, who initially designed the cars for Studebaker. Stevens subsequently formed a company to create them by himself. Sadly, the project wasn’t as successful as all involved would have expected, and after several failures, Excalibur folded in 1990. Of course, that hasn’t stopped others from creating replicas, such as this 1989 Excalibur Series V Replica. Built on a 1989 Mercury Grand Marquis GS chassis, this 17,688-mile automobile awaits its new owner in Williston, Vermont. It is often said that imitation is the best form of flattery, so the fact that someone built a replica of the Excalibur means that the car is worth checking out. If you’re the kind of person who lusts after the quirky and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of what many consider a ‘classic’ or ‘modern classic’, why not buy this car and become its custodian?
The Chevy Nova, or Chevy II as it was also known, was the Bowtie’s contender in the compact car space between 1962 and 1979. It was quite a departure from Chevy’s other offerings that included full-size and midsize cars, plus sports, muscle and pony cars. Nevertheless, the Nova was a best-seller throughout much of the Sixties, since it represented affordable motoring for the masses who didn’t want a land yacht of epic proportions and eye-watering price. Now, the Nova is a great classic car, as well as a fine restomod platform. This particular 1966 Chevrolet Nova SS Restomod is a great example of the latter category, as it’s undergone a full restoration and has just 400 miles on its stonking new motor.
Being a manufacturer and making a statement in the ʼ80s was a tough task, as the automotive world was on full blast with cars making the move to more tech and a change in design to suit a massive shift in customer tastes and preferences. Mercedes-Benz in the 80s was peak German automotive and the secret to its success? Staying true to who they are and giving the world true luxury and superior engineering over marketing gimmicks. Present today is this 1988 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL, this German classic is a love letter to luxury cruising in style and has just a reported 140,316 miles on its clock.
