  • Having fun cruising and checking out a 1951 Pontiac Chieftain Catalina Super Deluxe Coupe. I filmed this classic car in Lewisville, Texas out of Garrett Classics showroom. Be sure to check them and myself out on Facebook. Thanks for following my TH-cam channel. Filmed in 4K UHD. I work with classic cars, muscle cars, pre-war, exotics, luxury cars and more. Even a Poncho with an Indian Hood Ornament. Samspace81

    I was lucky enough to own a 51 back in my younger days. It was garaged kept throughout its time by myself and my grandfather. I had it through 1990 before I let it go. It was an attention getter every time I took it out. It was all original including the paint. It sat two years due to illness by my grandfather. I put a new battery in it, changed the oil, and it fired up on the second try. Straight 6 with a column shift, no turn signals. Clock and radio still worked when I sold it. Wish I never let it go, but due to moving without much notice I had no choice. I hope who I sold it to still has it on the road. It was in the family 39 years, and garaged kept the entire time we owned it.

    I have one of these. It sat sinking behind a barn for 40 years when me and my dad got it. We turned it into a tire shredding, big block powered monster that almost dismantled itself from the torque. It's not in the best shape, but I helped my dad build it. This is the one car I will never get rid of. One day I might get to restore it and make it what it once was... With a big block of course.

    My late uncle had a similar period Pontiac I8. Always looking to save a nickle, he changed the cartridge oil filter to a FRANZ. As I recall the basic premise was the use of a roll of "toilet paper" unwound until it was a certain diameter and inserted into the filter container. Top off the container and paper with fresh oil, attach the cover and your good to go. Narragansett Bay
