1961 Pontiac Catalina
The 1961 Catalina received downsizing along with other makes. The new perimeter frame was what helped Pontiac cut size and weight. Some of the major differences were the return to the twin grille styling theme, sculptured side panels, taller rooflines and horizontal-oval tail lights. Catalinas also came with small tailfins, small hubcaps. Base equipment included turn signals, cigarette lighter, electric windshield wipers, oil filter, sun visors, and five tubeless black sidewall tires 1961 Pontiac Options included: Air-Conditioning - Electric Antenna - Guide Matic Headlamp Control - Power Steering - Power Brakes - Six Way Power Seat - Power Windows - Safeguard Speedometer - Magic Cruise - Aluminum Hubs & Drums - Bucket Seats - EZ Eye Glass - Luggage Carrier - Power Tailgate - 4 Speed Super HydraMatic - 4 Speed Manual - SafeT Track Differential - 4 Barrel Induction System - Tri Power Induction System1961 Pontiac Catalina Specification and Production Numbers
