Pontiac Catalina (fifth stand alone generation, 1977 to 1981)

In 1977 Pontiac and other General Motors divisions downsized their full sized cars in an effort to lighten weight and improve gas mileage. The Catalina continued as Pontiac's entry level full size automobile with a Buick built 231 cubic inch V6 now standard in sedans and coupes. Its model years run from 1977 to 1981. This page belongs to the Pontiac Catalina model on its Pontiac make page, and it links to the generation and the neighbouring model years so that the whole run of the model can be followed in order.
