Nice looking car, I'm quickly becoming a fan of the "big cars" although I have a newbie question....how does a Ventura differ from a Cat?

That is a beauty. Show us some more!

Black is the best on these big 'uns. My mother was just at the beach on the 4th at a parade, & brought me back a Pic of a 2 door '65 Bonne black w/black vinyl top. It's a killer. I will try & scan it to get a decent Pic to share. I am going to have a hard time going back on my '66 with white vinyl on a black car. I have never seen that combo on any other car, so I will have to stick with it.

Beautiful!
I was thinking of changing the color of my 65, seeing yours convinces me it should stay black.

Initially, the Ventura was a trim package added to the Catalina. It had an interior upgrade, and additional emblems. I believe by the late 60's it had become a its own model. Physically they're the same car.
