Advice needed please. I want to keep a stock look as best I can while going with a radial tire. 14 wheels. Original tires are rotting away. We will be driving the car so good safe tires with a nice ride are what we need. Oh, and we want the look. Anybody know about the bias ply look radials? I hear Coker tires a...

I'm trying to find the right gloss of paint for my air cleaner. No luck yet. Has someone found something with the right gloss? So far all the semi gloss stuff seems too flat.

Yesterday I took this picture of the tag on a US model 65 Impala SS convert 4 speed car. Does anyone know what the stamped "28" might signify? I'm not sure I recall seeing something like this before.

Not sure what forum to post this in so feel free to move it to the best place. I haven't heard of this company before, but a fellow on a Chevy site used them and liked them.

Through the years on here, at times we have mentioned things about the unique Delco-Remy, Made In Canada (McKinnon Industries Ltd., St. Catharines, ON.) ignition coils that are found on our Canadian Pontiac engines. Canadian only. Here's a NOS one that I picked up (didn't pay the seller's price...

Hi all, since a lot of guys run the ever popular rally (1) wheel on their Canadian Ponchos of all differents sizes (as do I), I have wondered what actually would have come with the disc brake optional wheels starting in 1967. I have a set from a 67 2+2 with discs and they are 15x5" (Pretty skinny for a big c...

So where is the value in the patina? I know each person must have an individual opinion on this. Car is 65 years old and the paint looks original. The flat blue/silver is kinda neat but i don't know how to care for it or preserve it as it is. Once I start with some sort of wax or paint restoration product ther...

Picked these up a while back, not for my car but I couldn't pass up. Was told they were NOS but can't find a part # on them, # on the box is 985302. Think they fit 63-65. Any way to tell without a part # stamped on the guard or no part# means repop? Thanks Jim

Just wondering what is the correct colour for the circular groove on the front side of the cap. I have three that have red groves and two that are black. Under the red paint is black, so I'm thinking it was personalized at one time. Anybody know for sure? Thanks

I have only ever used seam sealer from a tube, using a caulking gun. I had no idea there is a brushable seam sealer out of a can. It seems to look a lot more like what the factory used on our 60's cars, and I like the idea that it appears you can do a wider strip when you apply it. Anyone here used it? If so, what bra...
