What did you do to your Car today?
Reference to Pontiac Sportable Radios:
Got lucky again and again on the 1960 Pontiac Sportable Radios. So I was able to find one in January 2026 with an Oldsmobile portable unit, which I converted cosmetically to a Pontiac faced unit...(posts on page 114 of this thread). Since then, I found a correct Pontiac Sportable portable unit in reasonably good shape to replace the converted Oldsmobile unit. I just recently sent the entire unit out to get an AM/FM conversion and restored cosmetics to install in my car. Then, last week, I came across another 1960 Pontiac Sportable radio for sale. Supposedly had an older restoration to get the main unit working again. I couldn't resist...lol. I'll use it for display purposes for now. Eventually, I'd like to buy a 1960 Pontiac Wagon in which I will install this unit...(you all know, "the cart before the horse"...lol.) I've attached pictures of the two units and other pictures associated with the Sportable radios. I included a picture of a Sportable power pack that I have as well. Not sure how these functioned, but are also extremely rare. Enjoy

Odds are not too good that we will have it in Oklahoma.
Right now we got as far as we can on reassembly until my daughter and son-in-law come up for a week at Thanksgiving when he and I (mostly he🤔) will re-install and maybe streamline the wiring harness.
Thanks for all your comments!By 31pontiac ·

Bringin' It Back From The Dead - 70 Catalina Convertible
Hello,
The Catalina took Sixth Place today at the Marketplace Chevrolet dealer car show - it was a combo food drive and unwrapped toys benefit show. This was near Stonewall, Louisiana, a short drive south of town. We had beautiful weather and thirty one registered vehicles in the show. Way too cold in the morning for the top to be down but it was down for the trip home. Free hamburgers and hot dogs.
The Catalina is parked next to a nice 455 cubic inch '67 Lemans convertible. Lots of nice vehicles today.
Rick

Excuse me! I need to step away for some towels! There seems to be a puddle of drool developing at my feet!
Tim, you do realize you can never drive it on the road right? You will cause to many accidents! Cars rear ending cars, people falling of bikes, bugs flying into trees, etc…By Last Indian ·
