Survivor Under 25K Miles 1959 Pontiac Catalina 389 Tri Power & Ride My Car Story with Lou Costabile

On "My Car Story" we're in Grants Pass OR on 7-26-24.
We're looking at a 1959 Pontiac Catalina in White Paint.
The car comes with a 389 CI V8 Tri-Power engine and an automatic transmission.
The car's Owner is Dently Wagner. Dently’s had this car since 2022. Dently shares he had a 1959 Pontiac in High School. He searched for years and finally found this car. Well he was very excited to find this car as it has less than 25,000 original miles.
ENJOY!

When I was four, my parents bought a new 1960 Bonneville 4-door Vista. When this gentleman opened the trunk, a rush of memory came back! That houndstooth pattern liner in the trunk was the same as our family car. Obviously this car wasn't bought just for comfort, but it looks so great with that Wide Track stance, that that would've sold me, even without their famous 'triple deuce' setup. Looking at this amazing car one can see why Pontiac was climbing in both the sales charts and the public's notice. Thanks so much for showing us!

Really takes you back in time seeing an all original car in great condition. They can only be original once. At this age most all others are falling apart or very modified to multiple owners liking. Time has changed those cars while this one stays firmly seated where its life began, late 50s and early 60s.

[@TheDejael]

The "Pontiac Drag Car" you speak of Lou, is the 1959-60 Catalina Super Duty. I owned a 1960 Catalina Super Duty 2-door hardtop in 1980. It was a John DeLorean "idea car" in 1959, like his El Catalina concept for a Pontiac version of the Chevy El Camino. These cars were raced by Ace Wilson and Arnie Beswick of Royal Pontiac in the Detroit area. They all featured the 389-V8 with Tripower, a 3-speed manual floor shift by Saginaw, dual exhaust and 325 HP in that 389. PMD continued making the special order Catalina Super Duty through 1964, including the now legendary 421-V8 "Swiss Cheese" frame 1963 model.

That was my first car I owned when I turned 17 in 1968. My Mom purchased it brand new in 1959 . Handed down to me when I got my drivers license. Same color as yours but had red and white interior. Had a quadrajet carburetor on my 389. Was nice and peppy. The motor mounts busted once and the carburetor linkage locked up with the accelerator floored. That was a horrible experience. Had to shut the ignition off before it would crash. Sold it to my friend about 10 months later when I purchased my first brand new car, a 1969 GTO which I ordered from the factory.

I never was a fan of much of anything from 1959 except the Cadillac and Chevy Impala somewhat. 59 was a styling transitional period from the finned late 50s into the 60s. I was a tyke in 59' but remember all these cars from that period. In 59 Chevy still had the best lineup with the Corvette and Impala. 59'Impalas were extremely popular and were all over the place.

I had a Canadian 2 door hardtop with bullets on the top of the quarter panels and a radio in the middle of the back seat. It was called the Grand Parisienne but unlike the American version which has a Cadillac frame, the Canadian model is on a regular Chevy frame. So in order to have the widetrack look, you had to use spacers and wide tires. I have pictures of me with the band, The Clash in front of my red 59 , taken the night of one of their concerts in the 1980s

I like old cars, this is a nice one. As a surviver in that good of condition, you know it was kept in a garage. My biggest problem when I see these videos with low mileage is believing the mileage is actual. Even if he has some documentation, I would question the validity of the documents. That car is 65 years old, with 24846 miles on it. That works out to 382.25 miles a year. Why would anyone in their right mind buy a car and not drive it. If I did that with my current car, I would visit the gas station once a year. Having recently had my sister's car parked in the driveway because she got sick and died, all the things I had to deal with from the car just sitting, makes me think this car has more miles and some repairs.

Can't believe you'd drive this car with no tachometer or oil temp/coolant temp gauges. I wouldn't.

Nice, it’s no GTO though…

[@markg7030]

The GTO would get this engine in 1964.

....that will come a little bit later. GOOD NEWS! If you type into KZbin search "My Car Story with Lou GTO" I'm sure you'll see MANY you'll enjoy.
