I've been browsing around here for a while and thought it was time to jump right in. I have a 53 Canadian Pontiac, I guess its a Pathfinder however the ownership right back to 1960 calls it a Chieftain.
Everytime I take it out someone tells me its a Pathfinder so. It's not stock but I am trying to keep it looking pretty much complete. It has a "mild" 350 small block, a 700 r4 transmission and a 10 bolt posi.
I have updated the brakes to a dual system however I kept the drums all around. I did not want to cut into the firewall so the master is still frame mounted. If a big block Dodge can stop on four drums then so can I.
The car is lowered 2 inches all around and currently has Hopsters and 225 45 17's which I still cant decide if I like.
Very nice car indeed and welcome too! If you can believe it I found a link that shows the differences in Canadian and US Pontiacs for 53/53. Your's is Canadian that's for sure. Get this though, the models are said to be Pathfinder, Laurentian and Tempest.
