Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain

I regularly used to see a white '69 Dodge Charger in the Sainsbury's multistorey car park, always made me smile, didn't look big at all compared to modern vehicles. The 69 Charger is a B body- midsize. It's a fair bit smaller than this one. The B body is about the same size as a Granada. Mind you t...

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain

The worst parking lot ding I've received on that car was when I parked in the furthest space from the store doors with no cars around ...
