My 57 Pathfinder Deluxe has triangular shaped metal sheilds that cover the last four inches of the rear shocks. I have spoken to folks who tell me that only export models to be shipped to other countries had these. I have never seen these shields on any other Canadian Pontiac or Chevy. I realize that man...

Hi guys, I've just received a pair of original Unity spotlights from my girlfriends father (he has a '54). They are both wired for 6v and are working. My question is the best spot to put them through the A-pillar. With the amount of chrome work around the window, it doesn't look possible, and the only...

I want to find out if a 1955 front bumper and grill fit on a 1956 Pontiac. I have 2 1956's and they both have smashed up bumpers. I found a guy who has a nice 1955 bumper and grill and if they would fit I would be interested in frankensteining my car. Putting a 1955 grill and bumper on a 1956. If anyone knows if th...

Hello Guys, first post here so go easy on me. I'm a member at chevy talk and it was suggested I ask you fellas whether or not the fenders are interchangeable from a 53 Canadian Pontiac to a 53 Chevy Belair? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rick.

For the lower-cost cars, there were 3 ovals on the spear-shaped body line on the side of the rear fenders: I am pretty sure that originally these were red inside (the red on mine, shown above, is long gone): The question is, was that reflective tape? Or some kind of paint? Or what? If anyone knows, pleas...
