Hi George,

I also have 2 1957 Pontiac. 1 Laurentian that I plan on restoring and I just bought a Pathfinder Deluxe 4 door sedan.

Mine is not as nice as yours though :)

Very nice ride! Congratulations.

Here is my other ride. A 1974 Chevrolet Caprice Estate wagon. 400 V-8 Loaded. My Mom and Dad bought it new in May 1974. I show the car in memory of my late dad Anthony (1927-1993). The car now has just over 47,000 miles on it. A real joy to drive and todays cars do not ride any better. A real joy but it loves fuel, man does it ever love fuel. Thats ok because you only live once, so enjoy the ride. George.

Is that ever a nice wagon George. A neighbour had a 74 Impala when I was in High School and University and he would often allow me to borrow it. I really loved driving that car, it was a 2 door with a 350 but it really moved out. It was brown too with a parchment interior.

I'm trying to place the street in the photos....Birchmount? Midland?

Hello Ray. Actually the area is Rexdale, near Kipling and Rexdale. The opposite area that you guessed. A buddy of mine owns the industrial building there, where i have restored cars in the past. Cheers. George.

That is a nice wagon! My grandmother bought a 74 Impala new. It served her very well.

I just gotta say "Your '57 is GORGEOUS GEORGE"!!! And that '74 wagon just blows my tiny little mind all to bits! I was very touched by why you were motivated to do up not only a car like your Dad's old '57, but also, to keep his '74 wagon as pristine as you have speaks volumes as to the type of fellow you really are! That's one nice thing about THIS website is EVERYONE on here is GENUINE! THE REAL DEAL MAN! Thanks for coming on board and sharing your treasures with us all George. Just fabulous!!

Thank you for all the kind words Frank. I have been in this great hobby since 1976, when i bought my first oldie, a 1956 Chevrolet Belair sedan. What i have learned is that, old car people are a very special group of folks. I have made solid bonds with old car folks that go back at least 30 years. I would not have it any other way. Thanks again. Cheers. George.

Love your wagon. You are fortunate to still have a car that was in your family since new.

John thank you for the kind words. When my dad passed away July 16, 1993, i was left the wagon because my dad always knew how much that car meant to me. My younger brother Mike, now 42. Was left his other car a 1980 Chevrolet Camaro with a 267 V-8. Seeing your 1973 Camaro reminded me of my dads 1980. Good luck with all your fine vehicles. Cheers. George.
