Brooklyn, 1970

1962 Catalina

In the late ‘50s General Motors’ Pontiac brand began to feel a little old and tired. The cars were big, boring, and slow and not many
1970 Olds 442 W-30
1970 Olds 442 W-30 Considered by many to be the best that Oldsmobile put out, the 1970 Olds 442 W-30 is truly a classic muscle car.
