1951 Pontiac Chieftain

LED?

I do not wish any further blasphemy in here.

There's a good reason. The rear lenses are faded down to a whitish pink and the LED's bring them back to red; the lights are mounted way low compared to modern vehicles and are quite small. I rather like the shape of the back of the car, don't want anybody to modify it rudely.

Plus, it's hardly an irreversible thing. I just don't have the justifiable to get a new set of lenses right now. This'll make it pass inspection.

The witchcraft lotion that made many a faded taillight lens comme neuf.

Then relegate that newfangled shit from China to where it belongs (hint: it's made from porcelain) and insert nice NOS bulbs of yore for the appropriate iiiiiindicate-pause-iiiiiiinciate-pause-iiiiiiiindicate experience.

I have some of that, it has done a really nice job of the badges.

Woo. New oil pump $317. It's a 1951 specific part! Lovely.

Bloody hell - that's beans on toast or whatever the US equivalent is for a while then.

Didn't it used to be PB&J sammitches?
