This was posted over on the HAMB earlier today. Low mileage said to be original, but I was wondering about the side trim?? I've seen a half dozen 57's over the years and none had this trim. Could you get a Pathfinder deluxe delivery?? And weren't there supposed to be three stars?

Hello all, been a long while since I've been on here. Finally been back working on my '57 after a rather long hiatus. I've reached a point where I have the fresh air vent door out, and have the door itself disassembled. The sheetmetal pieces are rotting at the bottom, and I wonder if this is common. I have a...

Check out this vintage inline six cylinder motor. The motor is a 1957 vintage 302 GMC inline six truck motor that has had everything done to it and then put in a sweet 1932 Chevy coupe hot rod. The coupe belongs to long time hot rodder and Waterloo resident Ian Reid. The 302 inline has been bored and stroke...

Hi guys me again. I'm in the middle of doing the 6 to 12 volt conversion and although its not part of the process I needed to remove the horn ring. The previous owner must have had a problem with the horn and ran a working button to the side of the column so I thought I would correct it now that the battery i...

Hi, I just bought a 57 Pathfinder 2 dr post. It's completely original, was in a front end collision in Jan 1967 and sat in a garage ever since. It's a bare bones car, and didn't come with a radio. The radio delete plate is there. How common was radio delete in this era? *edit* Radio question was answered, th...

Hey guys. Quick question - as I understand it the 50s Canadian pontiacs are based on chev bodies/frames rather than the US pontiacs which had longer noses, different chassis with big X member etc. Does that also mean a 51 - 53 Canadian Pontiac would run the same wheels as a 51 - 53 Chev? Ie. 15x5, 5x4.75 st...

Good day. I've got a 1948 Streamliner with the original straight 6 239. It doesn't run currently, but will. It will run for a bit when gas has been poured in the carb, but dies once that runs out. Makes me think its a fuel delivery issue, so not a huge deal to fix. I'm sure with some work this engine can be tur...
