I just like how that car launches off the line nice and clean and strait
Don’t know if it’s the weight but it does a nice job.there is another video that shows it running 10.49.To me going round 4000 lbs and running in the 10s is NOT to bad

Nice post. Brought back memories of my brother I lost a couple years ago. He had a Silver 59 Catalina he raced with a pumped up 389 and we thought he was hauling ass running low 15's. I remember him getting in trouble for doing burnouts all the way down the block in front of the high school.

Back in 1959 I was about 6 years old .At that time we lived in a small town
Of Empire Michigan. Station at Empire Air force Base. On February of 1959 we went in to the city of Travis city Michigan to trade in her 1952 Buick Road Master for a brand
New 1959 Pontiac star chief It was black as in the other post and did bring back memories of that car
