You gotta love the family story behind this Pontiac! We found this rare 1960 Pontiac Ventura at the Depot Days car show in Amboy, Illinois. #Pontiac #PontiacVentura #1960Pontiac

It's nice to see people get a GREAT break and inherit a CLASSIC car. I have had over 30 cars fixed up a lot, but mom and dad didn't leave a car. I am happy for this guy. Great car!!!

First new car my parents ever owned was a 1960 Catalina and they traded in a '52 Pontiac on the deal. Fast car, I remember my sister and I being pinned to the backseat upon acceleration and it was the only time in my life when I saw my Dad give my Mom his watch and say "Time me".

Nice to see cars like that, the cars today all look the same, and the wrap around wind shields give better vision.

Family Idols always get passed on. The man who built bigger Barn's wanted Abraham to warm his brothers. He said that they wouldn't listen anyway.

1960 Pontiac is one of my all-time favorite cars. My dad had a Catalina and it was the first car I rode in in life, at least, consciously. lol The build quality of these is an example of GM at its finest. BTW, the shift pattern is so you could rock the car easily out of snow or mud in the days when good roads weren't as common. The Hydra Matic was the world's first fully automatic transmission. You could even push start these.

A very beautiful car - the body looks like it's customized, although its factory - very cool year

My Grandfather had the 1967 Bonneville. I loved When the grandparents picked me up to go for a ride. I use to look at the power window switches and think how special the car was. I use to clean the white wall tires when he was visiting my mom. He thought I did it for money and would give me a quarter when I would point out my early detailing days at age 8.

Beautiful Ventura! I like that he kept "grandpa's car & is maintaining it the way grampa would have. I have the last new car my grampa bought, a fully loaded 1969 Pontiac LeMans 4 door hardtop. Currently she has just over 51k original miles. Have you seen any 1969 LeMans 4 doors at shows recently? I haven't seen another in years in my area.

Teal was really big in the 90's. Had a Camaro painted that color. I would've kept the car the way his grandpa wanted it also. Nice.

Ventura is between the Catalina and Bonneville it's actually a trim package on a Catalina
@joeseeking35722 жыл бұрын
Exactly right on line up position, but it was actually its own model in 60 & 61, a trim option thereafter. Main claim to fame was the interior done in an almost junior Bonneville style (nicer than the Star Chief really)

The transmission in the car is special, its a slim jim 400 and was designed to pull Air Stream trailers at 100mph easily and comfortably, the gear selection was meant to be easier to use, since the first gear usually used after start up was reverse that's where you start, you drop it down to R and back out the driveway, the tranny was made to shift like a manuel, so that's why from R up it goes R, N, L, L2, D and lastly Park
@John-g5n3k4 ай бұрын
That's not correct. "Slim Jim" was a nickname given to the Roto-Hydramatic in reference to it's smaller case. The Slim Jim first appeared in '61. This car has the 4-speed Super Hydramatic, which is in reality a far stronger and superior transmission as compared to the Slim Jim. Slim Jims were/are the bane of early 60's Pontiac owners, ask me how I know...

I was just scoping out at 60 Catalina on ebay this week before this posted - this year pontiac was so cool - so out there - tri color interiors - extravagant dash and gauges steering wheel, etc. Dude doesn't know about the old cast iron powerglide. I think it weird he says keep it original and theres not much original except the original 389 - interior changed out, paint not original etc
