1956 Pontiac Laurentian Convertible - $50,000 (seattle)

[Twisted Shifter]

It might be a very driveable car, but with all the listed modifications and updates, $50k USD may be somewhat optimistic.

All of the $50K value is hidden in that stellar wiring harness.

It appears to overheat or run hot. There is a fabricated fan shroud.  $50k this engine bay should contain a completely rebuilt original engine. Wired like it made sense. Clean as a whistle.

I agree, those zip ties under the hood sure do add a lot to a nice looking car. 10 cent zip ties on a 50K car. I do think that this is a beautiful car, in spite of the continental kit. The color is just a little bit loud for my taste, but that's just me. Beautiful car until you open the hood. I would take it off the market and clean that up and then repost.

So does a Laurentian come with a Chevy drivetrain?

[The 55er]

Yes, Pontiac Laurentians came with Chevrolet chassis & drivetrains.

Oh so you actually bought a Cheviac back then....

I was thinking that it was this vehicle that I saw in rural PEI, but not exactly. Wird to see two cars from the same era with the same loud paint job

The perfect driver when you hope to arrive incognito ???

This color combination was definitely a fifties thing. I have a picture of a 1955 Ford Sunliner in Raven Black and Goldenrod Yellow with a yellow and black interior. It would have made a self-respecting yellow jacket proud, and it was a far cry from the "refrigerator" colors many cars have today.
