1960 Pontiac Catalina
The 1960 Pontiac Catalina received major styling features like an undivided horizontal bars grille, straight full-length side trim moldings and a new deck lid which was almost flush with the tops of the rear fenders. Catalinas came with front fender "Catalina" script, "Pontiac" block letters on the front edge of the hood, and they had plain belt line moldings. Turn signals, oil filter, five tubeless tires, and courtesy lamps on convertibles were standard.1960 Pontiac Catalina Production Numbers and Specifications
