Yesterday's 1965 Chrysler 300L (a rarity, as only 108 of the 2,845 produced had the 4-speed manual) was something of a gentleman's hot rod; a big personal luxury car with a 360bhp 413 under the hood and a $3,500 base sticker.
The Pontiac Catalina was generally a notch lower on the prestige totem pole, starting at $2,800 for the 2-door hardtop or $3,100 for a convertible.
