The Pontiac Catalina is an automobile which was part of Pontiac's full-sized line from 1950 to 1981. Initially the name was used strictly to denote hardtop body styles first appearing in the 1950 Chieftain Eight and DeLuxe Eight lines. In 1959 the Catalina became a separate model as the "entry-level" full-size Pontiac. For 1959 Pontiac dropped the name "Chieftain" and "Super Chief" models for its entry-level model and renamed it "Catalina" while demoting the former top-line Star Chief to mid-li...ne status eliminating the two-door StarChief Catalina the only hardtop for the StarChief was the four-door hardtop and expanding the Bonneville nameplate to a full flagship series that included sedans coupes convertibles and Safari station wagons. In the lower-priced Catalina line Pontiac division advertising placed higher emphasis on the top trimmed two- and four-door hardtops convertible and Safari station wagons instead of the pillared two- and four-door sedan variants despite the fact that the four-door sedan was the best seller in this line.
