Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
with the price of fuel in the USA being so much less than we have to suffer, is that the best you can do, under a quarter full. I despair, you must look after MY car better!

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
It's creeping back up again lately. Means the round trip to go pick the kids up from school has gone from $5 to $7 in fuel.
Economy was never its strong point

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
Engine was making funny noises.
I broke out something I didn't have when I made it. Welding machine.
Painted and partially assembled.
Back on and working properly again. Much better.
Resumed regular duty as grocery getter.

Getting groceries is much more fun in an old'un. Went to Morrison's in the Cowley this morning - the long way. Forgot potatoes so had to go out again a bit later unfortunately*

You can see they're still pumped up pretty high in the back in that photo- the red of the badge on the wheel trim is visible.
