Your 57 Pontiac is like mine, a Pathfinder Deluxe model with the 261 in line six motor. Like our friend above said, we need more pictures and what are your plans for the car. You are obviously in Canada because of your Canadian 57 Pontiac but what part of Canada. What ever your plans are, good luck with your 57 time machine. Cheers.

Thanks,! Your 1957 time machine looks impressive, great job! I will start on mine in Speing as soon my new workshop is done. I posted more pics from fire wall VIN deckers. Mine is manufactured by GM Canada, in Oshawa, Ontario. Any input from deckel, you have, I appreciated!

Paint 2409 means Tropical Turquise and Dover White two tone. BSO 213 means Heavy duty suspension front and rear. Which included stiffer front coils, extra leaf rear springs and H.D. shocks. W in front of engine number means it is a factory 261 in line six. If your engines casting number does not have a W, then some one may have replaced it with a Chevrolet 235 engine at some time. The 7 and 2 at the start of serial number mean 1957 and Pontiac. If I dig up any more information I will post it here. Cheers.

Hey Isztvan, try out the new game Brandon and I worked on called Name the cars with the Hidden Gas Caps. If you ever pumped gas at a station and are our age you should do well. The game went live today. Regards, Mario

Mario, I got 88% on the latest gas cap game and that was with no guessing involved. Cheers.

Wow you did great George! Did you used to work at a gas station and pump gas too? Those of us who did got a good score first time out. Congrats and Cheers, Mario

Mario, I never worked in a gas station. Just a natural born oil soaked gas stained gear head, that's all. I can not imagine life with out my love for old cars. Give me old cars or give me death..... or is it Liberty. Cheers.

Isztvan56, any updates on your 57 Pontiac or are you still working on your shop. Do you plan on restoring the 57 original or doing some mods. Some of us would be interested in knowing your plans for the car. Cheers.

Yeah, still working on the shop, and after that my plan is to restore our Pontiac to its original state as much is possible, no upgrade, no muscle car. For me it has a charm in original version!

Hello fellow 57 Pontiac lover. Thank you for planning on keeping your Canadian 57 Pontiac original. They have far more charm and personality when they look original, as far as I am concerned. The best of luck to you in the restoration of your fine 57 Pontiac and please give us updates when you can. Cheers.
