65 Cat. 2+2

pontiacwoman · 03-19-08, 09:52 AM

I'm little bit contemplative right now... Did the '65 Catalina 2+2 ever had side moldings?

Chuck · 03-19-08, 03:24 PM

I'm not sure but if I get time i'll look it up.

manicmechanic · 03-19-08, 07:12 PM

I'm pretty sure the '65 2+2 I almost bought did not.

mrpontiac65 · 03-19-08, 10:43 PM

My '66 didn't. I'll check my pictures.

mrpontiac65 · 03-20-08, 08:34 AM

Here's a couple of pictures of my '66 2+2 I had.

mrpontiac65 · 03-20-08, 08:35 AM

I'll do it again I hit the wrong button.I'm not awake yet.

Wouldn't that long molding right at the bottom of the door be considered "side molding"

mrpontiac65 · 03-21-08, 09:24 AM

That's what it looks like from the picture didn't think it had moulding on it.That's the only 2 pictures I had of that car. I was trying to go by my memory till I found the pictures.That car had soo much traction that one day I let her rip and smoked em in first and when I shifted to second the 4- speed went BOOM the only gear not hurt in the trany was the reverse idler gear tucked down in the corner of the case.That's was with a 389 in it at the time.

umm... I don't mean those moldings which are on the bottom....

I just thought did it ever have long side moldings which go through the side in the middle of the door etc.

I have once seen a 65 Cat. which HAD those side moldings....ODD!!!
(how it can be possible?)

look at this '66,it has "those" side moldings.

pontiacwoman, In late summer of 65, I spotted a yellow 2+2 on a used car lot. The salesman talked me into taking it for a ride. I would have bought that car, it had a 421 with tri power and a 4 speed, but he wouldn't give me fair market value for my 61 Bonne convertable. The Cat did NOT have the side molding that you are asking about.
Now, on a different note. I was thinking of addressing you with a little shorter name. Pontiac=indian, indianwoman=squaw. Could I just address you as squaw? LOL!!!

I was just trying to be funny, I guess. I wouldn't call anyone squaw unless it was my wife. (Maybe that's why I don't have one) And pontiac woman is a fine name. Thanks for the comment on my 64. I like it too!
Here's a couple more pictures with some scenery in the background:

Just out of curiosity, what are the temperatures during the summer months at that race track? I love the mountains in the back ground too. Beautiful looking place.

WDCreech · 03-26-08, 06:06 PM

If the weather is good, it can get into the mid to high 70s, but I've also seen it in the mid 40s.

I have a '65 2+2. They did not come with belt-line molding. They did have a strip of stainless molding running along the bottom body accent line.

Nice to hear you got it on the road. There's nothing like a big boat w/Power
