I'm wondering if someone on thi...

Hello everyone, I'm not new to the forum but haven't been here in many years. Currently I own a 56' Laurentian and just recently picked up a 62 GMC 4x4 pickup. I've owned this car since 2015 but haven't done much to it other than general maintenance. It's currently got the original 265 and powerglide(at...

I think this thread should be for all those strange comments we get as car owners, regardless of year.

I bought a parts car last summer exactly the same year and specs, thinking I would pull of...

Hi everyone. I'm pulling the steering wheel off my 1951 Chieftain to replace the horn ring. The wheel puller bolt holes in the wheel hub have a weird thread. It is 5/16 but not the normal coarse or fine thread. Anyone else had this issue?? Thanks everyone for your suggestions! Would you believ...

I'm struggling to find a reliable and cost effective solution to get bulky and somewhat heavy body parts to the UK from Vancouver. Do we have any experts that might have suggestions?

Got out camping with the 57 last week and boy was it HOT. Our dog sure likes car rides in it. With all the cancelled shows and cruise nights are you guys getting out in your cars for a drive to keep them happy and to get away from the house?

I saw an image in Google of a 51 Chieftain Ambulance with "Steve Lichtman Collection" on it. Steve Lichtman, if you read this, I'd love to get a copy of that photo. I am the custodian of a 1951 Chieftain Sedan Delivery ambulance conversion.

Greetings gents, I am wondering if there are a couple "go to" donor cars for a suspension upgrade for my '51 fastback? Both front and rear.

Trying to get a feel of what the general consensus would be. This type of car appeals to some of us and leaving it somewhat authentic , well that is a matter of choice.
