My name is Lars and I'm from Germany. In late 2008, I bought this 68 Catalina Hardtop with the 400ci engine in Richmond IL and shipped it to Europe. Before i got the car, it had only two pre owners and 75k miles on it. The last owner lived in Twin Lakes WI, but passed away shortly after I bought the car. In the last two years I only added 2k more miles to it. The car is in good shape and has been repainted some years ago. The interior is original and in mint condition. Anyway, I'm planning to start a complete restoration in the next two years. So at the moment, I'm collecting many parts and information.

And that's why I'm here, to find answers if there will turn up problems. In germany, we have a growing scene of US-car enthusiasts, but most drive Mopars.

Thats only an hour north from where I live. Nice car! Welcome to the board.

G'Day Lars,

That is one beautiful car you have there. I had the four door version many years ago in Australia, it was the Parisienne.
Those are interesting car mats you are using.

"es gibt auch eine handvoll andere Pontiac-Fahrer aus Deutschland hier. Meiner Erfahrung nach die beste Informationsquelle für Pontiacs (besonnders auch full size) im ganzen Web""

For those who don't speak/read/write German: There are a handful of other Pontiac-drivers from Germany. (this forum is ) Likely the best information point for Pontacs (particularly full size) in the entire web.

Grüße von Ohio. Ich wohne in Ohio, aber mein Herz ist immer in Fulda

Yep, my turkish flying carpets are being always mentioned by viewers. The cabin is quite big and sitting on the bench in the front feels like sitting in the living room. So why not add a living room carpet to feel more comfortable? Maybe some flowers and a TV are missing.

But I removed those rubber mats behind the rear wheels. They were stock, but looked even more stupid than the carpets.
