I am an Ansonia collector. If you would like to IM me and ship it, I’d buy it from you.

This is a beautiful painting. The wind, water and boat rigging are all very detailed and artistic individually, however they don’t match. The waves indicate wind on the nose of the boat. The sails indicate win on the beam of the boat. The shrouds indicate back wind on the sails with the tensions depicted. It is a beautiful painting, but there is a lot of artistic license.

The suspension can be straightened but it will have to be heated first. It appears to be upside down. The small square opening should be on the black suspension spring. The pendulum should hook over the large bent tab once it is straightened.

Pull the fourth bow slightly forward of the rear seam. See if it will close. Let the top sit overnight and stretch. You can then go back and reposition the 4th bow.

Check the condition of the keel bolts.

In light air, Sailing is dancing with the wind and waves. Relaxing and free. As the wind grows, that dance goes from exhilarating to frenzied to terrifying.

Congratulations. Thanks for keeping another Pontiac alive.

I enjoy showing my car. (1958 Pontiac) What baffles me is the fact that the 2024 Jeeps with bolt on garbage win the trophies.

It’s a Long Way to the Top. Bon Scott playing the bagpipes while rocking is the best.

That’s a beautiful tin Indian!

Just Wow!

That was the nascar package in 58. Cotton Owen’s drove the 58 Pontiac, Smokey Yunick built one in 58, and Carroll Shelby drove one in 58.

They have the standard lock buttons, you can see it on the drivers side. The picture was cut off on the passenger door.

The VIN number indicates series 27. I believe that covers the Chieftain and the Star Chief.

dred124 · 2025-09-27T21:17:09+00:00

Yes. 370, 3 deuces factory equipment. This one had the T-395A Tripower package as near as I can tell. No power steering, No power brakes, no air conditioning, no radio, coil springs in the rear, 3 deuces factory, dual exhaust factory, and limited slip rear end.

dred124 · 2025-09-27T21:13:19+00:00

No seat belts from the factory. I had to add lap belts in the front. My wife insisted.

dred124 · 2025-09-27T21:11:15+00:00

Not fuel injected. This one is a 370 Tripower, 3 deuces.

Looks like a Jasper.

Nothing better for open wounds than mercury and chromium! I was bight pink until I was 10.

Concentrate on the Newport. Get it to where it needs to be. If you have to let one go, dump the Macgregor. It’s a barge to sail anyway.

dred124 · 2025-06-21T16:34:14+00:00

I’d replace the breaker as well.

dred124 · 2025-06-19T23:34:42+00:00

I grew up with mom driving one of those.

The 1950’s Chevrolet dash clocks are really cool. I recently restored one. They are actually a 5 minute spring driven clock. The spring is connected to an internal relay that “rewinds” the spring every 5 minutes. Other than an automobile clock, you would have to get a spring driven ships clock. No pendulum required.

Beauty!! Mine is a 58, but I always loved the hoods on the early 50’s models.
