Default What Pontiac is that?

Hi,

can anyone tell me what model and year this Pontiac is? Or is it some custom made car?

Thanks
Dan

Whatever it is, it started life as a 1969 full-size Pontiac. Probably a Catalina or Bonneville - but not a station wagon.

Looks like it mated with a truck topper.

That's a '69 Catalina "creation". It looks like it was built from a 4 door.

Looks kinda like an update of the 'Pie Wagaon' from the movie "Hollywood Knights".

I kinda like that '57. Needs some kind of cover over the cargo area though. Hard shell, tip up, following the body contours and painted like the rest of the car.

We are thinking along the same lines I think it is a See-Mor cap that somebody worked over. Pretty creative.

Looks like it would make a good 'Lamnas' type hearse.
