Purchased at a West New York Pontiac Dealership by a distant relative in the Summer of 1963, this two-door "Gulfstream-Aqua" Catalina came my way 15 years later, as I began my Senior year in High School. As soon as I got the keys, I went to work...

This particular car came from the factory equipped with the "low-end" package:
389 cubic inch engine, 2 barrel carb.
3-speed Hydramatic Transmission
Power-Steering, Manual Brakes
Bench Seats (no seat-belts)
AM Radio; No Air Conditioning
No Windshield Washer
Crank-Down Windows; No Tinted Glass
Anyway, the steering wheel and dash had some nice chrome!

The 1964 Catalina, Grand Prix and Bonneville all shared a unique style and appearance. The "Boomerang" tail-lights were their trademark feature.
Some aspects of this body style (such as the front grille and headlight arrangement) were carried over to the GTO, Tempest and Lemans in 1965.
