The 1959 Pontiac was on display tomorrow at Simpson Pontiac Motor Co., 3002 Rucker Ave. First of the split-grill Pontiacs, it was the only American automobile with wide-track wheels. Like the other General Motors models, the four-door hardtop had a Vista-lounge interior with full 360-degree visibility. The three series were the magnificent Bonneville, dramatic Star Chief and brilliant new Catalina.
