Classic......great car for top of the page for April.

 

I love the direction that C.P. is going in with two 1950's Pontiac's in a row. Last a sweet 55 and now a sweet 52. I have always loved and appreciated this era of automobiles and the GM cars from this era are among the very best. My dad's very first car was the 52 Chevy version of this car and the love for this vintage iron has never left me. Mike, she is a real beauty and thank you for gracing C.P. for the next month with this fine automobile of yours. Cheers. 

Such a cool ride. Such a good story on the history on your 52. Our Pontiac's would look super cool parked together in a picture.. nice nice car!!!!

 Great old poncho and nice work. I like to see more of the earlier stuff but, as they say, tougher to find. 

 Coincidentally, I also have a 1989 Dakota convertible that was my first new vehicle. (Red 4x4, manual tranny) It runs but needs a bit of work. Just waiting for the inspiration. Maybe we should talk....

Beautiful car and a great story. Congrats.

What piece exactly are you missing?

You did a fine job on this car and it is a classic early 50s car. I like those old flatheads, biggest problem with them is you cant hear them run, must be hard on starters, trying to start them when they are already running. For anyone who hasnt heard one run, go out of your way to hear one.

Congratulations on being the April feature car.

Thank you Todd much appreciated.

Beautiful car, funny how nowadays Im more drawn to these examples of basic period family transportation than flashy convertibles and muscle cars. I still love those popular cars but the oddballs are just more interesting by their rarity.

 John, i am with you on that statement all the way and i always have been ............ 100%. 

I also love the model name... "Fleetleader", hearkens back to a time before Canada became a "woke" embarrassment to its previously proud history.
