Mine was a '63 Cat, 2DHT, 389/stick, light blue. I traded in a '57 Chieftain. It was not a fast car, but was a clean, nice riding car.

I mentioned this before, but... My dad had several Pontiacs, and the best one in my mind was the '57 Super Chief with 3x2. It was a black four door HT.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
