For the Purist

Neat little detail for the purists out here, my 56 Pathfinder Deluxe is mostly unrestored and I got it from the second owner, one family owned since 56. They are telling me the wheels were never repainted, and I can easily tell that the spare at least is untouched original with the original tire on it. Wh...

The valve covers on my 283 for 1962 don't have any markings, so likely someone painted them over the years. Is the PONTIAC lettering from the factory a decal or painted on? If it is a decal can anyone tell me it they are readily available? If they are painted on can anyone tell me where to get a stencil?

I got my repro decal from Beaumontguru. I could have asked him in PM but I thought others might have the same question. Install it like the first picture or the second? I'm thinking first but I want to be sure.

I'm trying to find a Grant Brown Sticker or a picture of one that I might be able to reproduce. I know they have been closed for some time but still worth a try. They were located at 1575 Weston Road, Weston Ontario Canada. Thanks Rick

I have a set of big block valve cover washers that are a little different from anything I have come across before. They are stamped made in canada which leads to the question of what engine would they have come on? Maybe they are GM replacements from a Canadian dealer. Looking for any info or comments, th...
