A Father & Son Team’s 428-Powered 1962 Pontiac Catalina Hot Rod | Powered by Enthusiasts
Luke Johnston not only comes from a Pontiac family, he comes from the Summit Racing family too—because his dad Paul, is our Customer Service Supervisor. Turns out, that’s a good combination, because the duo has transformed a classic 1962 Pontiac Catalina into a tire-shredding dragster, with a rip snortin’ Pontiac 428 engine under its hood. And they did it all themselves. We caught up with the Johnston father/son team during Summit Racing’s annual employee track day at Summit Motorsports Park. They gave us a ton good info on the car but, perhaps more importantly, they told us about the learning and bonding experiences they’ve had during the build process. Whether you like fire-breathing Pontiacs or a good father-son bonding story, you’ll want to check out this video—it’s just another example of how Summit Racing is Powered By Enthusiasts.
