I have a 1950 streamliner 6 cylinder standard transmission, the left rear motor mount was bad so, I replace all 3 mounts figuring it was the right thing to do. Now I have a vibration that I never had before. I added some rubber under the rear mounts its better but you can feel it in the steering column and turn signal switch handle. Any clues
Thanks
Mike

As some of you may know, this website originally started back in 2005 as 1952Pontiac.com. What began as a small personal project focused on my own 1952 Pontiac gradually grew into a broader resource covering all 1949–1954 Pontiacs, eventually becoming PontiacChieftain.com.
It has always been a passion project centered around preserving and sharing accurate information for these cars. Over the years I’ve spent countless hours collecting original literature, scanning manuals, building and refining the website, developing VIN and body tag decoders, and organizing technical data so it’s all easy to access in one place.
But this community is bigger than just one person.
I’m reaching out to see if anyone would be interested in helping grow the site in one (or both) of the following ways:
Contribute to the Pontiac Chieftain Library
If you have:
- Original dealership literature
- Shop manuals or supplements
- Service bulletins
- Accessory installation sheets
- Sales brochures
- Period advertisements
- Factory photos
- Clear photos of original cars, tags, components, etc.
And you’re willing to share scanned copies (or high-quality photos), I would love to include them in the Library so others can benefit.
Proper credit will absolutely be given.
The goal is long-term preservation - making sure this information doesn’t get lost.
Become a Blog Contributor
I’m also looking for anyone interested in writing occasional articles for the site blog. Topics could include:
- Technical how-to articles
- Restoration tips
- Model year breakdowns
- Accessory spotlights
- Historical deep dives
- Personal ownership stories
- Factory documentation analysis
You don’t have to be a professional writer - just someone who enjoys these cars and wants to share knowledge.
Why This Matters
The 1949–1954 Pontiacs don’t always get the same spotlight as some other makes. The more information we preserve and publish, the easier it becomes for owners and restorers to keep these cars on the road - and keep their history accurate.
If you’re interested in contributing literature, photos, or writing an article, please reply here, send me a private message or contact me through the main website contact form.
Let’s continue building the best 1949–1954 Pontiac resource on the web.
-Dave
