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.

Born from the desire to be free of corporate constraint, the Pontiac GTO is a lesson in defiance. It shows what happens when men figure out a way to rage against the corporate machine in a creative way. You see, General Motors had banned their auto divisions from competing in auto racing for some ridiculous reason. However, executives such as John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee and Bill Collins knew that this was outrageous. They felt the desire to find a way to buck the rules, and they easily found it. Because why not give customers a turn-key racer that’s thinly veiled as a street car? After all, you can’t control how your customers use your car once they’ve paid the purchase price and driven off the lot, can you? Hence, the GTO was born, with a name inspired by a Ferrari legend. Today, we have a 1965 Pontiac GTO for sale from Evansville, Wisconson. This symbol of rebelliousness is available with under 100,000 miles on the clock, a 389 Tri-Power under the hood and a Muncie 4-speeder taking care of shifting. If you want it in your life, don’t waste any more time, talk to us!
Pontiac, founded in 1926 was responsible for many all-American heroes of the automotive scene. Names such as Firebird, GTO, Bonneville, Tempest and Fiero are still held in high regard today. Sadly, the Pontiac division was shut down by GM in 2010. In their later years, they continued to create an interesting car every now and then. The Solstice was one of them, a compact two-door convertible sports car that was made between 2006 and 2010. That’s what we have here, a 2006 Pontiac Solstice Roadster from San Antonio, Texas. It’s got a 2.4-liter Ecotec 4-cylinder, a convertible top, and is rear-wheel drive as you’d expect from any self-respecting sports car. With just over 35,000 miles on the odometer, this curio could be yours!
Pontiac’s Firebird is an iconic car. It was made between 1967 and 2002 across four generations, and the sister car of Chevy’s Camaro. Notably, the second and third generations of Firebird had significant screen presences, in the shape of featuring prominently on Smokey and the Bandit (second generation), as well as Knight Rider (third generation). It’s no surprise, given that the second-generation’s muscular and pumped-up looks lent itself well to star alongside Burt Reynolds, while the third generation’s sleek computer-graphics esque design was perfect to be the car of the future – talking and all. Today, we’ve got a nice second-generation 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am for sale from The Villages, Florida. This machine has got the Oldsmobile 403ci V8 under the hood, and rolls on a set of aftermarket Snowflake wheels. We’re also informed that the interior has been reupholstered.
