My 57 Pontiac has 41,300 documented miles. Many thanks to Ted Ross of Greece,NY the second owner who did the restoration in 2003 on this 100% rust free Texas Pontiac, he spent hours polishing the stainless, detailing the engine bay. 55 shows
in 2005/2006/2007 60 wins. Including 4 Best of Shows, 7 Best Pontiac, 2006 GM National Show Winner at Carlisle,PA
6 Best GM. This 57 Pontiac is as good as it gets. A tri-five
(55/57 Chevy) killer. It now has the correct Delco battery.
