My buddy took his '53 in to be safetied and it failed due to a cracked exhaust manifold. Amazingly the exhaust manifold was broken completely off, but you could barely hear the engine running. Amazing. But, the bad news is that it won't pass safety with a broken manifold. Any idea where a person cou...

Hi, my Dad's '52 Chieftan (Canadian) is not sucking gas at all. Car runs great pouring gas down carburetor but then stops when fuel burnt. It is he original 1952 carburetor and we cannot find anyone who can confirm if a US rebuild kit will work, or if a '52 Chevy rebuild kit will work. If anyone has any t...

I took the D.S door panel off this winter and on the back side of the panel I found a signature down at the bottom . I wonder if the person that made it or installed it way back in 1957 signed this? Probably no way of ever finding out as the name is faded and the cardboard got wet at some point in time. Have any of y...

I bought this 57 in January and the seller was kind enough to store it for me til today. The car was in an accident in Jan 1967, and had been parked in a garage for 47 years until the owner passed away. At that time his family paid to have the property cleaned up so it could be sold. The front end took a good hit,...

I know that we've lost a great historian of this plant a few years ago, but all the information I can find on Regina seems to point back to this forum in one way or another. Has anyone picked up...

Its been over three years since my last post so I thought would post an update on the 41 Pontiac. The car has now been certified and appraised. Of the 82,527 produced in 1941 your guess is as good as mine on how many are actually left. If you know the location of one of these Pre-War Pontiac's please messa...

Hi there guys and gals, I was just wondering whether anyone has some old time knowledge about parts interchange in the GM world. Would anyone know if the rocker mouldings on a '57 Chev 2 door hardtop are the same as a '57 Pontiac 2 door hardtop, given that the cabin window and beltline ones are all the same...
