Pontiac Ventura
The Pontiac Ventura is an automobile model which was produced by Pontiac between 1960 and 1977. The Ventura started out as a higher content trim package on the Pontiac Catalina, and served as the inspiration for the luxury content Pontiac Grand Prix in 1962, then remained as a trim package on the Catalina until 1970. Its name was derived from Ventura, California, joining other similarly derived contemporary models such as the fellow Pontiac Catalina, the Chevrolet Malibu, and the rival Mercury Monterey. The Ventura nameplate was also used on Pontiac's version of the Chevrolet Nova from 1971 to 1977.
