Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
How much does the powertrain weight? That lot there looks quite a lot alone.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
The car weights no where near as much as I thought. Pretty much the same weight as our modern diesel A4 estate.

Yeah, it's not massively heavy, but does have very tall gearing.

Re: 1951 Pontiac Chieftain
I was impressed when it started better than most new cars.
