Pontiac Catalina (1959)

Kickdown's Take
by Moritz HelbichThis 1959 Pontiac Catalina epitomizes the golden age of American tailfins and captivates with its authentic look. The light blue and white paint job and the turquoise interior have been extensively restored, and the 6.4-liter V8 with 245 PS and automatic transmission runs reliably. With its TÜV certification valid through 2027 and H license plate, it’s ready to hit the road right away. Well-maintained since 2017, the car is in harmonious, inviting condition. A rare find for enthusiasts of American road cruisers on the European market.
