Good afternoon. I recently purchased a 1939 Pontiac 2dr sedan, a pretty bare shell missing both axles, for restoration. The tag is still on the firewall and I'm hoping someone could shed some light on exactly what I have here. I contacted GM Historical & an independent advisor and both were unabl...

Hi guys and gals, just thought I would ask before I tear into it, as I am in the process of stripping my Star Chief prior to repainting, and re chroming the front bumper. Can anyone confirm my thoughts about how to remove the front bullet cover? It appears from looking at them that the prongs on the inside h...

Fresh from the farm When i was walking up to the 56 I thought it was a US model because of all the chrome trim on it Most of the 56's that show up in manitoba are more basic models like pathfinders

I think this thread should be for all those strange comments we get as car owners, regardless of year. I have a 51 Pontiac 4 door which I keep in my garage covered up, so even if my garage is open, no neighbours see it. I bought a parts car last summer exactly the same year and specs, thinking I would pull of...

I've never had much to do with pre-58 Pontiacs, so I'm a newbie in this area. But, I've got a neighbour who has a '53 Pontiac. The registration lists it as a Parisienne but he's sure it's a Chieftain. I have no idea which is more desirable, nor what the difference would be. I don't even know the years th...

The wiper motor in our 1950 Pontiac is pneumatic drive. My manul has little to nothing about this motor or drive system. I was wondering if anyone has ever converted to a 12 Volt motor, and if so what did you use for a substitute? Comments or ideas are appreciated

This might seem obvious to many of you, but how do I boost my 6 volt battery? I currently have it on a 6 volt trickle charger but I have a feeling this will take forever. So what is the right and safe way to do this? Thanks in advance.
