The whole car is coming down!!!! When I open my radiator cap like that, I just get burnt........I like your way better.
Yeah.... but so does the wrong one! It's just a little off in size and mounting holes. Not something I'd be able to tell just from pictures. I'd...
A while back I bought and rebuilt a heat control valve that I thought would fit my '56 Pontiac. Turned out to be the wrong one! Can anyone...

Hey, Jon! There was a service bulletin for my '56 Pontiac when it was nearly new to fix "stalling on left turns". It involved putting a small tube...
I've posted this before, but it's still helpful. Although the manual is "updated", most of it applies to old airplanes, which translates well to...
You're right! Definitely a band-aid! This is a "better for now" kind of thing. Not sure how familiar you are with a 56 Pontiac grille, but it kind...

Thanks for the replies guys! I'll try to re-torque the spindle nuts, but I used a calibrated torque wrench to put them on. Can't imagine...
I've called around to a bunch of local places and when they asked about the year, they said "their computer doesn't go back that far". Haven't...
Hey fellas, my 56 Pontiac is eating front tires in fairly short order. The inside edges about 2" wide are showing cord and the rest of the tire...
There are quite a few being un-lost, including this one with a really great history! It's actually a C-53, but pretty much a military DC-3. It...
Note the addition of the "Anti-Other Guy Cannon" protruding from the left side of the nose, a short-lived new feature for 1960. By 1961, this...
Neat idea!
