Nice looking Star Chief Catalina. In those days, "Catalina" was nomenclature for 2-dr hardtop.

Some odd things about it. Star Chief Catalinas came in only two two-tone color combinations and this is not one of them. The ebay ad shows the Fisher Body Data Plate -- Paint No V62 which would be Turquoise Blue and White Mist. Trim No 284 is for Ivory and Dark Blue Leather. The Fisher Body Data Plate is normally painted same color as the cowl it is mounted on. If colors were changed, they sure did a great job of it, including interior.

Price seems quite reasonable from what I can see, especially if the very low mileage is true. But if originality is of concern, I would be skeptical.
