Something to note was that 1956 the last year for Pontiac having those chrome stripes running across the bonnet. It had been a long lived Pontiac tradition.
We had a 1956 Pontiac 2 door Catalina hard top. Looked like this, but red&white. Same motor. First car I learned to drive at 12 years old. No power steering so it was a wrestling event to park. It had the Indian head hood piece that had an orane plastic headpiece with a light in it. Lit up when lights were on.n😊
My mom had a car similar to that my dad bought it in the 60s for a second car if I was able to have enough money to afford something like that now I would definitely have to put a retro stereo in it and seat belts for everyone where is the car show people liked it or not because you can't drive the damn thing legally without three belts that's just the law and if I owned it I would want to be able to drive it around and enjoy it I had plenty of muscle cars from the sixties but I bought them second-hand in 1969 and 70 and 72 + 3 and that kind of stuff 67 GTO convertible just a mention one came from the factory with electric antenna air conditioning big block 400 a friend of mine that I bought it from had already put Mickey Thompson tires all the way around white raised letter tires it had the Hurst 4-speed shifter 650 dual line Holley carburetor 456 gear in the rear end head us Cragar mags only paid 800 bucks and the car looks better than anything I own now I've had a lot of that kind of stuff back in the day there was no seat belt law anyway you're nobody really goes a crap anymore I'm just waiting to die that's all started out for and I'm going to end up poor
