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...

Hello folks, a week ago I bought a 53 Pathfinder that was sitting in a field since 75. Requires total restoration. I wasn't even car shopping, but I saw this car and something about the hood ornament and the dashboard really had me. All four wheels were locked up so my friend brought over his drum puller a...

So an old friend from high school contacted me about a 57 Pontiac that his father wants to be rid of. I guess his health is not good, and does not want to leave his family with a mess of vehicles to clean up.... Anyway... The deal is too good not to pass up, since he is asking $500 but open to offers. I do...

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 am having a issue with finding brakes for my car. It seems that half the parts are Canadian and the other half are Chev. I spoke to California Pontiac Restoration and Chevs of the 40s.

I just purchased a 53 Pathfinder which has been full modified below the body. The tranny has been changed to a 700R4 and as such the steering column and steering wheel has been changed. I would really like to go back to a more original steering wheel... has anyone had experience with this? Thanks!!

Found the VIN on the data plate attached to the right hand side of the cowl ( firewall ) Might there be other places where the VIN number is found?

My buddy took his '53 in to be safetied and it failed due to a cracked exhaust manifold. Amazingly the exhaust manifold was broken completely off, but you could barely hear the engine running. Amazing. But, the bad news is that it won't pass safety with a broken manifold. Any idea where a person cou...
