Rick,
Congratulations! That is a beautiful car; clean lines and styling that makes it every bit as appealing as coaches that were more expenseive when new.
There's nothing like having that special old car out on a nice fall day (even if the next stop is winter hibernation.) Thanks for sharing her with us!

Tony expresses my sentiments exactly. I've always had a soft spot in my heart for GM models other than Cadillac, and you should be proud to have such a rare car able to run down the road. Tom
Thanks guys for the compliments.
Shes a 1954 Pontiac Chieftain built by Superior. #206 of 207 built in '54. I'm hoping to be able to find a lower rear gear for it. It sports a 4:1 to 1 right now. Kinda tough to drive on the hiway. 50 mph is tops, I nudged it up to 55 but was afraid of blowing the bottom end out of that straight 8.
