I bought my present 1957 Pontiac Pathfinder Deluxe sedan in 1996 and i took these photos just shortly after. I just converted the 35 mm photo images of my 57 Pontiac to j peg form for the computer. I added the restored photos as a comparison. George.

The air filter (paper element) that fits perfect in the oil bath is a Canadian Tire air filter #23-3188-2.

Dog dish and beauty rings same as I run on my 57. What are the new caps with w/w your running?
The full size wheel covers on the car now are original 1957 Pontiac full wheel covers. The full size wheel covers that were standard on the Laurentian, were a dealer accessory option on the Pathfinder Deluxe and Pathfinder models. They would be correct for my car and they class up the car.

Very nice George. It looks like it was a very solid car to start with. What a great end result, I can see why you would enjoy driving it so much.
Thanks for the kind words. The car was an Alberta car that had an amazingly solid body. That was the original colour combination and i wish i had left the car that way. The car was a true Canadian survivor with everything original, except for the old repaint. I should have left the car the way it was, except for adding all the options, the detail and the mechanical rebuilds. I also would have saved a fortune if i had never rechromed everything, repainted the car and changed the interior. Live and learn i guess but i still love her. George.
