Frequently Asked Questions about the Pontiac Catalina
The Catalina name first appeared for 1950 on a pillarless hardtop coupe in the Pontiac Chieftain line. Through 1958 Pontiac used Catalina as its label for hardtop body styles, not as a separate model. For 1959 it became a full model series, the entry-level full-size Pontiac, and it stayed in the lineup through the 1981 model year.
The 1959 Catalina replaced the Chieftain as the entry-level full-size Pontiac series. Pontiac dropped the Chieftain and Super Chief names that year and moved the Catalina name, until then a hardtop body-style label, onto its junior line. The Star Chief and Bonneville were positioned above it on a 124-inch wheelbase, while the Catalina used a 122-inch wheelbase.
Wide-Track was the advertising name for the wider wheel stance Pontiac introduced on its 1959 models, the Catalina included. The track was widened to 63.7 inches in front and 64 inches at the rear. Pontiac's agency, MacManus, John and Adams, built its advertising around the feature, and Motor Trend gave Pontiac its 1959 Car of the Year award.
The 1961 Catalina was a smaller car on a new chassis. Its wheelbase was cut from 122 to 119 inches, and a perimeter frame replaced the X-braced frame of the earlier cars. The 119-inch wheelbase lasted one year on sedans and coupes. For 1962 Pontiac stretched the Catalina to 120 inches, and the restyled 1965 models grew to 121 inches.
A 389-cubic-inch V8 was the standard Catalina engine when the series began in 1959, and Pontiac kept that displacement through 1966. A 400-cubic-inch V8, a bored-out development of the 389, replaced it for 1967. When the Catalina was downsized for 1977, a Buick-built 231-cubic-inch V6 became standard in the coupe and sedan, with V8s optional.
The eight-lug wheels were an option on full-size Pontiacs, the Catalina included, from the 1960 model year through 1968. Made for Pontiac by Kelsey-Hayes, each one combined a finned aluminum brake drum that served as the wheel center with a 14-inch steel rim attached by eight lug nuts. The open design let the drum shed brake heat better than a standard wheel and drum.
The 1959 Catalina was offered as a two-door sedan, two-door hardtop, four-door sedan, four-door hardtop, convertible and Safari station wagon. Pontiac marketed the four-door hardtop as the Vista. After the 1977 downsizing the Catalina range was limited to a coupe, a four-door sedan and a station wagon.
Pontiac discontinued the Catalina after the 1981 model year. The final generation dated from 1977, when General Motors downsized its full-size B-body cars and the Catalina moved to a smaller, lighter body while remaining the base full-size Pontiac below the Bonneville.
The 27 Pontiac Catalina listings on Classic Cars Arena right now are priced from $6,295 to $85,995, with a median asking price of $27,995. These are the prices sellers are asking today, not sale prices, and the figures change as cars are listed and sold.
