Sweet Cars and Trucks

Did this car have a roll-down back window? I remember that "feature" from a neighbor's car when I was a kid.

Yes it did , also one of th first with Quad headlights it was a great looking car , lots of unique features BUT that damn pushbutton transmission was HORRIBLE.

I have seen that same model converted to 4 on the floor in a retro fit and they FETCH a pretty decent price today . Wish i had kept it but i was a college kid and never could have afforded the rebuild

My folks had a Catalina too. Nice big fast solid smooth boats.
Ya needed a lot of metal back then as seat belts were new and airbags wasn’t a word.

As a kid I can't tell you how many times I road with my parents, standing up in between them, in the front seat. I had to be able to see everything. Today my parents would be arrested. Crazy times.
