68 Firebird convertible in SC at $16K BIN. This guy has always been high on his junkyard cars, but it looks like he has to get rid of all them soon, so a deal could be had?

59 Catalina convertible in Florida with a reserve. Beautiful interior. Anyone know what that thing is on the dash in the center?

The thing on the dash, is that what they called a twilight sentinel? Those mufflers are huge!

It is a retrostat and just like you said, keeps the lights on for a set period of time. Also if you turn the knob all the way to the right, the dome lights will probably come on depending on the model.

What an odd thing to want to have on your dash.

If you want to know anything about that 1959 Catalina, just ask me. I built that car. Pontiac called that thing on the dash an Autronic-Eye. It was to dim your high beams when it sensed an oncoming car. The knob adjusted the sensitivity. I built the car with every option and accessory that Pontiac offered in 1959 except air conditioning......John

That's awesome. It's a beautiful machine. Did the Autronic-Eye sell well? I remember having a set of dash gauges for a 69 Firebird with the speedometer buzzer. It was rare, like one of less than 250 total, but was rare for a reason. It just seems to me the Autronic-Eye wouldn't come in handy that often.

Also, is the compass a factory option?

I always thought these were pretty ugly cars, and the rear wing is stupid big.

During that time the majority of roads were two lane and street lighting was non-existent. (except in cities of course).
I can see where an automatic dimmer would come in handy

Personally interesting to me as it was built I believe the same day as my Sprint convertible, also Limelight, black custom trim and black top. VIN sequence U603xxx. My PHS was also seriously degraded, but unique in that the "invoice" is a completely different layout, being billed through GMOO at 5th Ave NY, NY.

That's pretty cool. The 69 Firebird I'm getting ready to sell is the 350 HO convertible (auto) Champagne car with a green top and green interior; at least that's what it was born as. It now has a 400 (rebuilt with #62 heads) with a white top and white interior (prof done). I added a tilt steering wheel, and I have a 72 Lemans Sport steering wheel (fat grip) with a leather cover. It looks period correct and the inner spokes and horn look like a 68-69 wood wheel. Anyway, I'll check the docs when I get ready and get back to you.
