before



after

 

Father in law's...............

 

Oops.... world's largest '56.

 

hah! not too many 56's out there any more.

 

No recent pics but here is mine. It's now lowered with new rims and tires.

 

can someone tell me the main differences between the star chief, chiefton and superchief?

 

The wheel base is diferent on all 3 in the rear. The trim is diferent also.

 

here's a set of 55's...

 

how so?

 

these wheels arent hamb friendly but the car itself looks really good...

 

old race car



one that needs to be saved

 

some 57s...





and a 55

 

The trunk lid on the base model and the chieftan will interchange w/ tri5 chev but the panel between the rear window and trunk is about 2" on the base and 6" on the chieftan. starchief is about 4" longer in the trunk lid and has the 6" panel between window and trunk.

 

oh okay. interesting. thanks!

 

heres a couple watson got his hands on

 

I've got a 55 Pontiac here I am putting a motor in, I will try and post pictures tomorrow.

 

the reason i started this thread . . .



..trying to get a hold of the guy who has this car for sale on craigscam. If he will ever get back to me then maybe ill have a 57 pontiac of my own. Been trying to get another car that i can play with for awhile, and i think this might be the winner...

 

Don't see enough of these beauties.. Now, someone tell me if these aren't Pontiacs or '55-'57s because I'm an idiot and can't ID Pontiacs as well as the others. These are the only 2 I have which are off here..

 

the first one is a 57 and the second is a 56.
Love the red on that 57, absolutely gorgeous

 

where did you find that red one?? would love to have some more pictures of that

 

It was in the mild customs thread..

Canadian 55 Laurentian, ..........

 

Here is my 57 sitting waiting for some attention. Actually it is in a shed out of the weather. Canadian 57 Pontiac sedan delivery. 682 made in Canada only, maybe a dozen or so left. Uses 57 chev frame and running gear. This one was a chev -6 cyl 3 spd std. Body # 57 of 682. Pat

 

A better pic of my 55 hardtop with big mac's 56 wagon .

 

We did the trim on the copper/bronze 55 a while back, owned by a 19ish year old young bloke here. Powered by a hotted up 250 6 th350 combo.




Loving these photos, keep em coming!
