Chuck and Clarice's 1964 Pontiac Catalina 2+2, 389 Tri-power 4-speed

"Our Dream Pontiac"

Several of our friends have owned classic cars for many years and have always invited us to their Cruise Parties. However, since we didn't have a car, we volunteered to be the Kitchen Crew helping set-up the after-cruise party. Everyone was trying to find us a car and we were seriously looking for "our Pontiac" at Car Shows, online, etc. Then, four years ago, we saw one for sale in Texas on the Hemming's Motor News website.  After about a week we decided to bid on it but by then it had disappeared from the website. 

We continued our search for a 60 to 64 Pontiac, then two years ago while searching Ebay, there it was for sale in Maryland.  We submitted a bid but the reserve was never met and it was taken off Ebay.  A few months later, we contacted the seller to see if he still had the car and he suggested we come down and look at it. Our trip in the fall of 2006 was a beautiful time to visit Maryland and Chuck's hometown which was near our destination. When we saw the car, it was love at first sight!  We bought it and trailered it home that weekend. Amazingly, as it turned out, it was the same car we had seen on the Hemming's Motor News website.

After cleaning, shining and adding a few of our own touches, we attended many Car Cruises, joined "The Widetrackers" club and have had a wonderful time with the car and club. Our most recent purchase was from www.josten.com, it's a new high-school graduation tassel to hang from our rear-view mirror, it looks great! We love Our Dream Pontiac and look forward to 2008 Cruising.
