General Pre 1958 Canadian Pontiac Discussions

Hello all....old member, back at last!!! · pixidogg

So, it's been a loooooooong time since I've posted on here, or had a chance to work upon my 56 Ponti. Due to my previous relationship breaking down, moving house and starting over, a little bit of illness, meeting somebody new, and other projects, it's been a while!! But though of that I've hung on to my...

My 56 Laurentian has got a bit of a messed up cowl tag. Its chewed up and spray painted (or something) so I have to get it replaced. A few places I've checked out like datatags.com have pics of US Pontiac tags and theirs are not the same as GM of Canada tags, so I want to supply the right info to whoever is gonna...

Here is my car's story. I bought the car in 1995, and run it like a driver for the 95 summer. In the winter with mostly no money I remove the engine and fix a valve problem, clean and paint the engine, and engine bay. Put the engine back and run it like that until 2005. I rebuilt the engine with my wife in 2005...

Hi guys, I think it could be helpful if I write a thread on how to replace a headliner. I've some replaced myself and I have a good bunch of pictures to go with. Would you be interested? Fitz.

I HATED to spend the big bucks ($580 US) but after being persuaded by a buddy that all my work could (along with the garage!) go up in smoke one day, I sprung for a OEM exact duplicate wiring harness for the Delivery. It was fab'd by Narrangansett Reproductions in Rhode Island. These guys are serious &quo...

On our Canadian cars, a nice precaution as been made and I would like to share. I don't know if everybody already know it.

I'm just wondering what this glass bottle is. It's bolted to the firewall, and has a filter in the cap. It's hooked up to the intake manifold and the side of the block. I've never seen it on any other car or in any other pictures. It's on my 1948 Pontiac Streamliner. Thanks, -Blake.
