Hi Dave, thanks for the reply. engine and tranny are in good shape,detail the engine and bay, interior needs to be totally redone I like the original maybe

change some chrome bumper,etc,paint? That’s the plan for now the more I see this can change. I have another project 1972 buick skylark. so just collecting parts and idea for now. when i got my car and started searching the web i was excited to see this site thanks again Dave

Hi Dave.

Basically am selling my chev ute. and have found this 52. after looking at the net last night for some time, I found some nice accessaries. and was enquiring about purchasing in the future…….if I get this sedan. I did find stuff on eBay. but with paypal charges etc the fuel cover protector was dear. so may be looking for second hand stuff.

as I say im not sure on the purchase yet . as it needs a lot of cosmetic work, and brakes. also couple of things missing in eng.

but a very solid car overall.

cheers Tim.

Dave, this is the photo I told you I would send you when I got it uplded. well here it is, this car I bought for $25.00 and it was in this shape, with 14,000 miles on the car. wanted you to see it, you may put it on your web site if you want to, thanks roger

Also, if anyone thinks they may know where this car is (or ended up) please send an email to me or make a post as a comment. THANKS!

This is Richard’s 1952 Pontiac. He says it runs like a dream and only has 32,000 original miles!

I bought the car a week ago for $5250, which isn’t bad for what it is. Currently it still has the original straight 8 and hydra-matic with 57,000 orig miles. The interior is all there, just needs to be redone. The dash is beautiful and everything works. As you can see from the pics the chrome is in excellent shape, I just need to rechrome the grill and a few small items to make it perfect. I haven’t been able to find pics of any ‘52 pontiacs that have all the chrome options that this car has. I’m sure they are out there, but I haven’t found any as of yet, which makes me even happier. The more unique the better.

Thanks for the site, I would’ve never thought I’d find a site devoted to these cars. Great idea!!!

Thanks, Rusty

Hi Dave,
Here’s mine…..I’ve had it for 4 weeks. These are truely beuatiful cars.

I’m currently stripping it down. I yanked the straight 8 and 3 speed trans. The engine isn’t running but turns over. Its been sitting since 68.

This is Jeff’s 1951 Pontiac Chieftain – From Ohio.

“THE BEFORE PICS”

Here are the after/current pictures.

This is Ericks 1951 Pontiac. He says it has a flathead six that sounds great with straight pipes all the way back! Here’s a link to the video of his flathead – http://youtube.com/watch?v=VGIE0nXfFcs

This is Andre’s Canadian 1953 Pontiac. He didn’t really tell me any other details, but here’s the pics!

I picked up my 51 chieftain in Aug of 07. It came home on a trailer, with the brake pedal stuck on the floor. the stright 8 ran but not well. At first I was going to gut it out and turn it in to a hot rod. After looking the car over a little better after i got it home, and findind out most of the car was still intacked. I just wanted to see it running down the road as is was. After e-baying my brains out, and many hours of work I had it running by Oct and took her to a local car meet just before Hollowen.
