Replying to: imidazol97 (Nov 04, 2009 1:24 pm) It's definitely a '53 Pontiac, even if Jalopnik has it mis-captioned as a '52 (not!). I doubt it is a Catalina which I think was a subset of the Chieftain and back then (IIRC) Catalina=Hardtop. The pictured car is a low-end two-door model lacking side chrome, I don't know what they called low-line ponchos back then but I'll bet we're looking at one. If you're wondering what the side script says, it's no help, it simply reads Pontiac. FYI, this is a typical '53 Catalina Chieftain. I have to confess to knowing very little about '53 Ponchos even though my family acquired a new one when I was ten. I think it was a 4-door/4-post Chieftain. It seemed pretty exciting and cool at the time but in retrospect mid-50s Pontiacs were pretty dowdy.
