This is my wheel now.

Would like to buy a nice original (or restored) black or white steering wheel for my 57 Star Chief. Not interested in one that has to be restored, since I already have one of those. LOL

Justag, thanks for the reply. The battery hold down is actually made for a battery with opposing posts, which of course this one is not. So flipping it wouldn't make a difference. As for it not sitting down on the battery, it's because this battery has a ledge on both ends and won't allow it to go all the way down to the battery. When it's time for a new battery, will get one to fit the hold down, but for now......... Still don't know how those holes on the side could be for drainage. If the liquid got to those holes, it would just run down the battery into the tray, whether the holes were there or not.

I ordered a battery hold down from Ames for my 57 Star Chief. It came with 4 holes drilled into the sides of it. These were not factory holes. I called them with my concern and was told they drill all of them in house! When I asked why, he could not explain the reason. Anyone have an input to this?? The hold down fits tight against the side of the battery, so you couldn't get anything into the holes even if you wanted too. I'm attaching a couple photos.

64 Kiwi, No I bought the car pretty much as you see it. I owned the car 4 years ago and sold it. Kicked myself afterwards and then I had a chance to buy it back, which I did a couple months ago.

Thanks for the replies. Yes I am considering the underdash units, however, not my first choice. Here are a few more pics of Big Red.

I would like to add AC to my car. Anyone on this site added AC to a 57 Pontiac? If so, would like to see pics and info of unit used and interior shots of install. Thank you
