Welcome John. Stratford is a great city. One of the most enjoyable jobs I had was working at Stratford Motor Products. Your Pontiac is coming along nicely. Keep us posted on your progress.

Glad to see you here not that many guys with 50s cars on here. Keep the pics coming.

Welcome John,

Looks like you are doing a nice job with your restoration, looking forward to more pictures as you get it finished.

Stratford is a beautiful place, lived there as a young child (so i am told), spent lots of summers at cousins there.
Love the breakfasts at the Festival Inn just as your coming into town. The buffet is almost worth the drive from Kawartha Lakes!

Brother in Law works at the Stratford Festival so we often have an excuse to visit still!

I think its really impressive that you are doing a frame off restoration and its your first go at this.... good on you!

Welcome from Woodstock. I've never seen that car on the road in Stratford. When was it last driven?

Hi Eeludy

 

I don't think the car ever drove around in Stratford. I bought it from a family in St Mary's that bought in Niagara, but the guy passed away before he could start fixing it up.

John first of all welcome and i am happy to see another fellow 1957 Pontiac owner. You picked a real sweet car to build and rare being a two door hardtop. It looks like you know what you are doing, you must have built cars before because what you are doing is no easy task. As you probably have figured out by now, i aswell have a 1957 Pontiac. Please feel free to ask me anything regarding the 1957 Pontiac. I would be more than glad to help. Please check out my 1957 Pontiac in the MY RIDES section. There is a number of 57 Pontiac's on this great site. I just have to add that it is real sweet that you are keeping the original 261 inline six in your 57. It is one fabulous motor. Wishing the best of luck with your resto. Cheers. George.
