1951 Pontiac Chieftain Deluxe Convertible
This Pontiac was just fully restored with a 12 volt electrical conversion. This 268 CID straight 8 Flat-head starts up instantly and idles so quietly that you can hardly tell it's running. The Hydra-Matic transmission was completely rebuilt and shifts as smoothly as it did in 1951, when it was new. It has 15 inch Coker wide-whitewall tires and classic wire wheels. All the gauges work, however the gas gauge is more of an estimate then an accurate reading. The suspension has been redone with new shocks, king pins, rear coils and new rear shackles. Also new are wind shield, rear door windows, gas tank, water pump, alternator, belt, all bulbs and lights, electric fuel pump, (inline to just prime the tank if needed, not hooked up). I have incorporated a new AM/FM radio that sounds great with speakers under the front seat. The original AM tube radio did work and goes with the car, it will bolt right back in place because I did not modify the dash at all. The convertible top is in nice condition with a new 12 volt electric motor, new hydraulic lines and new cylinders.
