I have always loved 1957 Pontiacs probably because I grew up with one from 1959 to 1970. My dad bought one and I grew up with it. Here are some random 1957 Pontiacs, mostly real nice ones but also some sad vintage yard examples as well.

Mario, I actually got a complete extra 261 in line six engine from that grey primer four door. I kept the engine as an extra for over ten years and then decided to sell it. I sold my engine to American gentleman from Chicago Illinois. He drove all the way in the winter to get my 261 in liner here in Ontario. I asked him why he went to all this trouble and he told me that these engines are now impossible to find, even in the U.S. I have a feeling I gave my engine away at $300 U.S. this was around 2015.

Well after holding the engine for 10 years at least you were able to get $300 for it. And you also helped a fellow Pontiac owner find the rare engine he needed. I think that was a win win all around George. Cheers, MArio

The person that bought my 261 engine was building a 1951 Chevrolet ragtop but he wanted an old school souped up Chev in line six for power with all the usual hop up goodies on it.

I just realized that it was $400 U.S. that I got for my 57 261 inline six, not the lower amount I stated. I paid $400 Canadian for the engine many years ago so I made a bit on it, but not much. I hope she went to a good home.

That's a great price George $400 and the 57 Pontiac is one of my all time favorite cars also. My 59 Pontiac was my first car and I loved it. The 389 V8 was powerful for such a large car. Your 57 Pontiac is mint with all the options and a real show winner! Cheers, Mario

Nice selection of 57 Pontiacs George. Looks like you picked some from car shows you went to. The ones in the salvage yards still have some good parts on them that you could always use. Cheers, Mario.
