TerryB Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 That under the hood pic is indeed out of character for the outward appearance of the car. Must be a story behind it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmTee Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I was thinking the same thing. If the engine compartment was detailed to match the rest of the car I think it would already be sold... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloo Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) There's never much original engine paint left on these flathead Pontiacs is there? If it really is as represented I would rather have it like this than everything tinkered with under the hood. I do like the color, and the manual transmission. There was one this color, also quite nice, at the last flathead reunion. I don't recall if it was exactly the same year, but close.

deac Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Very hard to believe that engine photo belongs to this car because quality of the photo doesn't match the rest of the photo's. But..... if it is that car I do wonder why the engine area was totally neglected and does that say anything for the maintenance and repairs over the years?

supercub Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 You can expect the inside to match the outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 That engine compartment photo does create a lot of questions. Look at the area where the windshield wipers are. I guess this photo could have been taken before the car was cleaned up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
