Idk why, but I’ve always considered the 1950s having the BEST styling in their cars . Chrome, trim, whitewall tires, and sheer size just give off that PERFECT charm to me 😍

Nice car. I like the sleeper look of the car. My car is no sleeper. With a 454, Super T-10 four speed and 3" exhaust in my '50, I can't sneak up on anybody. LOL

My dad’s 1962 Canadian full size Pontiac had a Chevy 261 inline 6 in it. Back then, GM put Pontiac trim on Chevy bodies and chassis in Canada and the Pontiacs got the 261 as the base engine instead of the 235.

The Pontiacs could come with the 283, 327, all the way up to the dual quad 409. My dad had a 1964 with the 283 and Powerglide.

That is a beautiful body color...usually don't like greens but that's a winner. Back in 1964, my mom had a 1956 Chevrolet 150 straight-6 that had a higher top end on the highway than my uncle's V-8 Mercury Comet. We were driving behind her in the Comet and my uncle had to floor it and it still couldn't catch up.

Actually this car came with a 235 and not a 216 as he stated. The Power Glide lettering on the trunk denotes that it came with an automatic. All of those were 235’s and not 216’s! I’m not a Retro Mod fan but this one is done right and is exceptional!

As a high school kid my first Chev was a '51... It had a 216 which had a dip-type of oil system... My second Chev was a '54 with a 235, the big difference being a fully pressurized oil system... Both manual shift... I'm not sure about the 235 in a Power Glide '52 but I do remember there was some kind of power difference between the manual and Power Glide models...

Fair enough. You had a newer 235 with the lower mounted water pump. There are ways around dealing with the water pump without moving the rad, but it doesn’t matter. My point is that the engines are the same size. Cool that you’ve been enjoying these cars for so long. Happy motoring.
