Pontiac’s Chieftain line-up was the automaker’s full-size offering from 1949 to 1958 across three generations, and were their first post-war designs. These full-sized cars were offered in a dizzying array of body styles, including two and four door sedans, two door coupes, two door hardtops, convertibles and station wagons. There was a Catalina for everyone. Powered by stout V8 engines making moderate but reliable power, this was dependable American motoring at its best. However, this 1956 Pontiac Chieftain Catalina Coupe is a bit of a deviation from the norm as it’s got some tasteful upgrades and enhancements. With 78,000 miles, it’s got a lot of life left in it too.
This second-generation 1956 Pontiac Chieftain Catalina Coupe is a two-door coupe as you may glean from the pictures, and it wears a very period-correct and eye-catching white and turquoise color scheme, with lovely art deco chrome strips running down the hood. Look closer and you will notice the upgraded headlamps, retro-style 15-inch American Racing wheels and overall hunkered-down stance. All chrome and badges are in place too, including the mascot atop the radio antenna. Step aboard the interior that is spacious enough for five occupants and you will notice that many knobs and switches wear dice – another quirky little detail on this car. The original gauges are there, but the steering wheel has been upgraded to a sportier, three-spoke unit. A plaque informs that the body was built by Fisher, which was a common practice in those days. The carpets are reportedly new as well, and the center console hosts a pair of cupholders too. Two speakers live on the rear parcel shelf for your tunes.
The second-generation Chieftain came with V8s that displaced between 4.7 and 5.7L and put out up to 227hp. However, this 1956 Pontiac Chieftain Catalina Coupe seems to pack an upgrade in the shape of an Offenhauser V8 engine with Tri-Power triple carburetor set-up feeding it air and fuel. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. The seller reports that the master cylinder has been rebuilt, and that there are new radiator hoses, gaskets and a replaced fuel line.
Pontiac’s Chieftain is a model that ran between 1949 and 1958. It was Pontiac’s full-size car and the first post-war design to be produced by this famed American automaker. Sadly, since Pontiac is no more, classics like this 1956 Pontiac Chieftain Station Wagon are all the more desirable. This particular car will have no doubt been the regular conveyance of a family in its heyday, its spacious passenger cabin and accommodating trunk filled to capacity on multiple occasions. Now, the vehicle enjoys a second life as something of a restomod and awaits a new owner who will take it on new adventures.
Post-War Pontiac designs were quite something to behold, and the Chieftain was their full-sized car from 1949 to 1958 that embodied everything about American motoring, right down to sheer size and road prominence. If you’re a fan of Fifties cars with those imposing, bulbous body styles, may we present this worthy 1954 Pontiac Chieftain Sedan for your considering. Having done just 62,176 miles, it’s in great condition inside and out, and awaits its next owner.

Pontiac’s Firebird was well-known for many reasons. It starred as the hero car in Smokey and the Bandit during its second generation. When it entered the third generation in 1982, the Firebird gained new levels of fame as Knight Rider’s KITT, as well as his evil twin KARR. But did you know that the Firebird has always been the sister car of the Camaro? The answer to Ford’s Mustang, GM introduced the Firebird and Camaro in 1967 to fight in the pony car space. Firebirds were made across four generations until 2002. Today, we’ve got a nice third-generation 1989 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA for sale in West Columbia, Texas. Yes, it’s the ‘Knight Rider’ model, albeit it isn’t black and doesn’t sport a sweeping red scanner bar. However, it is a high performance variant which was really sought after in its heyday. Today, this 159,164-mile car makes for a great practical classic that you can drive and display alike.
Pontiac’s Firebird, widely known as one of the most iconic pony cars ever to grace the silver screen, breathed its last breath by the end of 2002. Yes, Pontiac officially axed the Firebird nameplate after more than three decades of performance heritage, and the brand itself would be shelved by General Motors several years later. Famous for its starring roles in Smokey and the Bandit and Knight Rider, the Firebird remains one of the most recognizable American muscle cars in history. If you’re a Firebird fan, take a close look at this fourth-generation 2000 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am SLP Firehawk, now offered for sale in Carlsbad, New Mexico. With just over 28,000 miles on the odometer, this example stands out not just for its mileage, but for what it represents — a rare, factory-authorized performance upgrade by SLP Engineering (Street Legal Performance).
Another one of those classic nameplates that your grandparents might fondly remember, the Pontiac Laurentian is a fine example of Fifties American motoring for the masses. Today, it’s a great choice for the budding classic car collector who wants to enter the world of American classics with something iconic. That’s why we’re proud to offer this 1957 Pontiac Laurentian for sale in Trout Lake, Washington. In fact, this is a rare Canadian manufactured example, being one of only approximately 400 built! Furthermore, the car has enjoyed a total frame up restoration done by the Dragon's Car Club of Saskatoon, boasting upgraded components to make it more pleasant to drive regardless of weather and traffic conditions. Interestingly, the car was even raffled as a fund raiser for charity. So, without further ado, let’s learn even more about it.
