Very Vintage Pontiac

[Ysarex88 82]

Out walking yesterday when I discovered this -- ready for restoration or recycle.

Very cool. My first auto was a 1951 Chevy Deluxe and I loved that car. This reminds me of it. Mine had the visor too.

Man, that would be a shame not to restore or at least rat rod that. Looks like a 1953 Pontiac DeLuxe Catalina. That has a lot of potential looking at it on screen.

1953 -- I would have guessed earlier, but I'm not an old car fan so I'm just guessing. That makes us pretty close in age. I think I'm holding up a little better but maybe not. We've both got a few missing parts. I see it has inflated tires so I assume it actually runs -- me too, well sort of. Here's the view straight on the front grill.

I have a '52 Deluxe which originally belonged to Granddad, my father restored and I inherited.

My aunt and uncle had one they let me drive. Glad I didn't wreck it.

Great old car.
I like the first photo.
Car doesn't look that bad. Should be restored at least enough to be appreciated again.

I posted this in a separate thread but I'll post it here as well to make the set complete. This is the best part of that car as far as I'm concerned. I sure want one of these.
