I drive a '58 daily.

The song "Little Nifty Fifty" ( or "Nifty '50") was covered by a few people, I don't know who did it first. The Super Stocks Gary Usher The...
In more than one of the classic 60's car songs they mention "....racing for a buck a gear..." What exactly does that mean? I've tried to reason...

Welcome from another Poncho fan. Will look forward to seeing more of those cars. (Here and on the PY forum...)
Loads of options out there. The 347 has potential and would be cool based on it's period correctness. Some fabrication and you can put any...
I had a throttle cable snap on the way to work in my '67 Pontiac. I ended up stripping the copper wire out of a cheap extension cord I had the...
I'd vote for the Pontiac. That 370 is a very stout block and has loads of potential. (Some Pontiac fans claim it's one of the best they made.)...
Wow, that was quick. And pretty darn close if you ask me. (I wondered how that license plate light would work facing UP!) Thanks, I'll pass on...
Guy had a listing for a '58 Pontiac bumper, but this is the photo he sent me. I don't know what it is, but I know it's not a '58 Pontiac....
I'll echo what a lot of folks have said and that I think you have a good handle on already. Don't lie, take care of family obligations first, but...
Check out these threads from PY forum, they discuss some of the early interchange. I know that a '57 GMC flywheel will definitely interchange with...
Relax, he was just making a joke about "Flipping the Bird", as in a middle finger salute... (I chuckled a little...)
Fantastic! Very sorry to hear that your brother won't be able to recreate the picture, but I'm sure he's smiling down on you! Maybe you can...
Electrical Engineer for NASA. I do failure analysis mainly... It means I get to take stuff apart to see how it works (or doesn't). Can't believe...
Welcome! Big fan of the Poncho wagons here... Lets see some pictures!
Just what the doctor ordered.... (I've also got a '58, but this one isn't mine)
I'll bite... What is it?
Great save! Big fan of the wagons here, especially the Ponchos.... Had a 70 VC for a while too.... Just not enough room for them all. Check...
Did you put the air ride on that 60 Poncho? I've been considering that for my '58..
Post it up!
Welcome to the group. Have a '66 Bonneville myself I'm working on... But it's a wagon... Post some pics of the car if you get a chance. Most...
Feel free to share those suggestions...
The majority of 3 seat wagons from '59 and up had rear facing seats. The Olds Vista Cruiser was one exception that still faced forward up through...
Here's my family hauler/daily driver. 1958 Pontiac Chieftain Its got the 3rd row of seats (forward facing) but in '59 Pontiacs started facing...
I think it was '59, when they introduced the B-body platform. (Catalina, Bonneville, etc) I'm pretty sure my '58 is too narrow between the...
I don't think The_Dude ever said he's against a profit. If you search out these parts and re-sell them, more power to you. In fact, it's great...
Yep, they are a beautiful car without any mods. Like everyone has said, take your time. Make it safe, drive it, and go from there. Pick up...
