Overview of 1955 Pontiac Star Chief For Sale by Owner

Pontiac, one of those great American brands that is no more, is something of a legend. Between 1926 and 2010, they’ve given us plenty of great nameplates, some truly awesome muscle cars, potent pony cars and flamboyant full-size sedans. One of their key offerings in that last segment between 1954 and 1966 was the Star Chief. This was initially a top trim package for the Chieftain model before becoming a separate model. Finding a Star Chief isn’t easy because these vehicles were never intended to be collectibles. That’s despite over 203,000 being made in 1955, the year from which this 1955 Pontiac Star Chief hails. So if you wish to own this vehicle, you’d better act fast as it’s in great condition. It’s currently domiciled in Lake Elsinore, California, if you’re interested to go check it out.

Exterior and Interior

This 1955 Pontiac Star Chief comes with a nice coat of black paint that is very Fifties in nature, complementing its period design cues such as chrome bumpers, grille and semi faired-in rear wheels. Those wheels by the way feature full chrome hubcaps and whitewall tires for the complete package, so to speak. We suspect that this car has been restored, because of the way it looks and the degree of attention to detail that is clearly evident, even from photos. The red and white interior of this 1955 Pontiac Star Chief is a veritable time capsule, with comfortable and plush bench seats, a period-correct dashboard and even a push-button radio. We see some aftermarket gauges mounted in the center console to help monitor key engine health parameters which is a necessary thing with classic cars. Otherwise, everything is period, from the thin-rimmed steering wheel to the column shifter and frameless doors. The trunk also appears clean and neat, and is ready for your road trip luggage if you please.

Engine

This 1955 Pontiac Star Chief packs a 287ci Strato Streak V8. The 4.7-liter unit is carbureted and was rated to make at least a reported 180hp and 264lb-ft. Mind you, these figures are for 2-barrel carburetor equipped variants. A 3-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive are standard.
