I washed my car today
For the first time in almost 30 years! While my GTO is in the paint shop I took the opportunity to pull the 50 out and wash it, inside and out. I have to replace the floor ans trunk pans but other than that the car is pretty solid.
It's a straight 8 with three speed tranny. When I get the new driver's side front pan in I can install the gas pedal and hopefully move the car under it's own power.

When I was a kid there was an elderly lady in my hometown who had a grey 1950 Pontiac fastback - she only drove it to church on Sundays, and I suppose to the grocery store once a week. Cosmetically it was almost like a new car, but I imagine the engine was full of sludge.

I really like those old slant back cars. To me they beg for either the lead sled treatment or a straight axle, Olds rear and injector tubes shoved through the hood.
However you finish it, that's a very cool car. |

50 Pontiac
Hello, nice ride ,my first car was a 50 4-door I found for $15 when I was 13, in 1960. I drove it in the country for about a year and bought a 46 business coupe for $12. The 46 had a rod knocking so a buddy and I swapped the 6cyl. for the 50 straight 8. WE had lots of good times with that old straight 8 .
