    I can remember when I was a little kid my brother in law who is 85 years old now and still in good health, bought a 1959 olds brand new. It looked a lot like that Pontiac.Those trunks were big enough to haul livestock in. Thanks for posting.

    The crazy thing about this car is that it still has some usable parts on it. Cool body style.

      It was a super cool car. The last time I was at the yard they told me a gentleman up north purchased it and had it shipped to him.

    My uncle had that exact same car back in the 60's, it was a metallic cranberry color and he had these hubcaps that were pointed on it. Then he had a powder blue '64 Catalina with a 389 and a four speed, oh man he loved that car! Then he had a red '67 Catalina fastback.

    Big wheels. Great beach cruiser.. nice yard art polished up. Somewhere to listern to some good music. Plywood floors . Make a Bbq pit in the trunk. Something to stand around. Cool colour.. good video. Cheers..
