54 PONTIAC & Thank you Charles Coker!

[54starchief]

Hello there Pontiac fans,
fficeffice" />>>
I'd like to publically thank Mr. Charles Coker (my personal Pontiac Guru!) for all of his wonderful help during the "restoration" of this 1954 Pontiac Starchief.

It is an original A/C car and I was fortunate enough to be able to restore this car for my employer, Delphi Thermal Systems. (AKA Harrision Radiator in the old days)>>
This vehicle will be on permanent display at Delphi in Lockport N.Y., at the original Harrison facility.>>
Its purpose is to feature the first front mounted A/C system sold by Harrison. The system and car were not complete when we started, but with the help from Charles, it all came together. Charles even removed the correct steering wheel from his own car and sold it to me, as well as a very rare A/C condenser and NOS A/C blower switch.
"Charlie, you're the best!"
I'd also like to thank another Pontiac fellow, Mr. Mike Smith. Mike had some valuable unput with details, which helped with the vehicles completion.

The world's car clubs could use more guys like Charlie and Mike!

Thank you,
Dave Roberts
