Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain

Re: What did you do today?

Swapped cars, I like driving the Merc, it is still a pleasant place to be... and the sun was out so, roof off naturally. A lady I know (vaguely) was taking the mickey out of the car and how were two big(ish) dogs going to fit in the tiny little thing?
