I have a 1951 Styleline Deluxe. I have looked the car over, and I do not see any engine to chassis or frame ground anywhere. I do not have any electrical issue's, but was wondering if they came from the factory with above mentioned grounds?

I now have 2 1951 Styleline Deluxe's, one a 2 dr sdn, the other a sport coupe. Both are complete, running vehicle .... not parts cars. Neither has an engine to chassis ground.

My guess would be that the powers-that-be decided it was unnecessary.

Actually, the body is grounded if you consider the rocker panel-to-frame mounts (3 per side). Methinks.
