sixcyl ◊ 2007-08-31 09:02	maybe with the 2nd thumbnail, someone could precise the type of Pontiac it is?

goondocks ◊ 2015-01-05 19:47	Agree with jazzfi. Definitely the Star Chief Custom Catalina. Three stars on side are visible in main pic. Could it be the same car from Vertigo? /vehicle_16911-Pontiac-Star-Chief-1955.html -- Last edit: 2015-01-05 19:49:53
