Guess I should explain my handle. I'm a long time Pontiac fan. I'll attach a pic of my old Ghetto Glider, a 1960 Catalina 2D sport sedan, 455 V8 and turbo hydro 400. This car was rescued from a salvage yard. This was a very rare optioned 1960 police package car. It had HD brakes, suspension, certified police speedometer and very rare 425A 389 cu. in V8 that unfortunately had a rod thrown throught the block, too bad. I installed the 455 and later model trans. Sold this car a couple of years ago. I owned one very similar to this in high school in 1963. Have owned several GTOs and a couple of 1955 Pontiacs. Fun old cars.

Seeing your photo reminds me of my neighbors' 1960 'burnt orange' Catalina 4dr. They occasionally gave me a ride to school. Don't know what engine it had. I was 8 at the time.
