I'm fairly new to the Group, first time posting. Just wanted to introduce myself. I bought a 1952 Fleetleader Deluxe about a year and a half ago. Since then I have really enjoyed learning the history of these Canadian Pontiacs from the information I can find online and in the forums. Here are a couple pics of my ride.
63 Parisienne sport coupe (The Big GTO), black, maroon interior, 409 4 speed; former owner of a 59 El Camino, 63 Corvette SWC, 62 Chev Bel Air SC. 1963- Pontiac top selling car in Canada
Mahone Bay, NS Still not old enough to need an automatic
Welcome to the place that knows and appreciates Canadian Pontiacs and their derivatives. Your '52 looks like quite a nice example. Still running 6V electrics? I have a friend with a '51 that is still running the once common 6V. The slower cranking and the yellow headlight cast all made me remember when. When I was a kid it was the VW Beetles that had 6V, plus MGBs had a pair of 6V batteries in series for 12V.
I think I am looking at a future Feature Car. Your Fleetleader Deluxe would look great on the top of the page.

Car was switched to 12 volt and a Chevy 250cid inline 6 paired to a 350 turbo transmission installed by a previous owner (my apologies to the purists out there). Car runs and drives great however! Wipers and windshield wash still run off the vacuum.
