Just purchased 1955 Chieftain Catalina
Permalink  

Hi, I was getting a bit discouraged in not being able to get enough project time to get my '55 Pathfinder Deluxe going, so bought a total driver. This 1955 Catalina is from Kansas and has nice paint and a straight body. Gotta love Pontiacs!!

It's got the original 287 that was overbored 30 thou completely rebuilt. Just trying to get the mothballs out as it has less than 50 miles on the new engine. I will post some other pictures as well. Thanks for the kind words - even the wife and kids like it!!

Beauty! Just keep the hood closed and don't tell anybody it wasn't built in Canada, eh?

Don't give up on your 55 Pathfinder Deluxe - stash it and later on when you have the time, get back at it!
