Description:
1953 Pontiac Pontiac Delux
With a heavy heart i am going to list this. First it is 100 percent original, paint has never been touched, interior is pristine and original, motor is numbers matching with original mileage at 62,000. I have had Pontiac enthusiast trying to buy this at every car show, so i am listing it to give them all a chance. It is a tin woodie, the woodgrain is pretty faded with only parts of it still showing, i had a guy lined up to redo it, but the pontiac purists said they would hunt me down and basically put an end to my existence. It does have some dents, dings,scratches,but they all tell a story, most of them i do not know, some i do. This is NOT a barn find, it is a well loved, maintained piece of history. Most of the Pontiac restores feel it is one of a few all originals left. I changed the voltage regulator last year and it was stamped 1953 on the back. This was ordered with almost every option imaginable it even has the optional oil filter, windshield washer,glove box light, etc. This is the 6 person edition with folding seat to make it all flat in the back. It has only 2 small areas of rust under the trim by the back wheels thats it, no body work ever done. The engine purrs and sounds like it should for its age, the automatic transmission shifts perfect, it does not burn,leak,use, oil. It is in storage at the moment and i hope if your interested you will come look for yourself. I can take more pictures if needed it is just a hour down the road from me, and this is a spur of the moment decision, i may take this down at any moment and change my mind. This car gets more attention at the icecream shop full of grandkids than you could ever imagine, and when someone realizes its 100 percent original it blows them away, besides its not a Chevy and its super nice at a car show to not be one. It does have the original woodgrain headliner in tact. If you have any questions i will try to fight back my tears and answer them, thanks for looking.Vehicle Details:
