The 2024 Ford Mustang Would Shake In Its Boots If It Saw This Modern Pontiac Catalina.

While it was still in operation, Pontiac produced a tonne of thrilling automobiles.

Some of the well-known ones include the GTO, Trans Am, and Firebird.

However, there were several more designs that carried Pontiac's recognisable logo and were just as legendary

At the top of this list is the Catalina. In 1950, the moniker first appeared as a trim package for the Chieftain.

But over time, it changed into a five-generation freestanding full-sized model

It was the apex of full-sized vehicles for Pontiac and a very well-liked vehicle in the 1960s and 1970s.

Prokop's rendering brings the Catalina into the modern age. Its design is a mash-up of a late 1960s

The muscular lines on the hood and the subtle aero on the front bumper hint at this Catalina's
