Re: Ramon Lowe 58 Pontiac
Guys, there is a guy on the Hamb looking for info on a 58 Pontiac stocker he now owns. I'm trying to help him out. Looks like two tone green with Union 76 lettering on the front fenders. Maybe Div III car? He's trying to find his way over here to pick Jacks brain about it.

Re: Ramon Lowe 58 Pontiac
I don't think the 58's gas door swung up but was hinged on the side like a 57 chev and opened to the right. I remember grabbing my Dad's on the left side bottom and swinging it open.

Re: Ramon Lowe 58 Pontiac
Does anyone here have any idea how much a 58 Chieftain weighed in at(race weight) back in the day?
I would really like to know what Ramon's car weighed. I'm working on a 58 Chieftain that was raced back in the 60's, up through the early 70's when NHRA changed the stock class rules that bumped 10 year old(or older) cars out of stock class drag racing. I'm hoping to have this back on the track within the next month. This car competed at the first 3 Popular Hot Rodding Championships at US131 Dragway, Martin Michigan in 69,70,&71 |
