1961 Pontiac Catalina Bubble Top, 389 Tri-Power Trivia:
A revised version of the 1959-60 bubbletop roof was used on two-door hardtops. Wrap-around windshields were dropped in favor of
flatter glass work for improved entry and exit to the front seat.
All engines were again 389 cu in (6.4 l) V8s as in previous years. Standard engines were two-barrel units rated at 215 hp (160 kW)
with the three-speed manual transmission or 267 hp (199 kW) with the optional Hydramatic, with a 230 hp (170 kW) regular-fuel
economy V8 offered as a no-cost option with the Hydramatic. Offered as extra-cost options were more powerful versions of the 389
including a 303 hp (226 kW) version with four-barrel carburetor or 318 hp (237 kW) Tri-Power option. New to the option list were two
higher performance versions of the 389, including a four-barrel 333 hp (248 kW) unit and a 348 hp (260 kW) Tri-Power option, both
with higher 10.75:1 compression ratios. A 363 hp (271 kW) engine was offered to drag racers. Late in the '61 season the 421 cu in
(6.9 l) Super Duty was released for sale.
A new three-speed Roto Hydramatic automatic transmission replaced the previous four-speed unit for 1961. The new transmission
was slimmer and lighter than the older four-speed Hydramatic, which was continued on the larger Star Chief and Bonneville models.
Also new for 1961 was a four-speed manual transmission with Hurst floor shifter, available on special order.
