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.
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.

Catalina sounds quite exotic, doesn’t it? Well, it’s a fitting name for Pontiac’s top-of-the-line offering of the '50s and '60s. Initially seen as a trim level for the Chieftain in 1950, the Catalina became its own model line-up by 1959. The range would expand over time to cover coupes, convertibles, hardtops, sedans, and station wagons. So why not experience a slice of Catalina goodness, with this 1962 Pontiac Catalina Convertible? The car has done 75,000 miles and is for sale by its original owner.
Pontiac is one of those American brands that went under not too long ago – in 2009, to be precise. In the last few years of their life, they used to rebadge cars made by Holden in Australia and sell them in the United States. You might recognize this from the last GTO that they sold, which was actually a Holden Monaro. Well, they also rebadged the Holden Commodore as the Pontiac G8. The Commodore/G8 was a full-size sedan with a full-fat V8 under the hood. This particular 2008 Pontiac G8 GXP is one of those cars, and since the G8 was only made between 2007 and 2009, less than 40,000 were sold. So, here’s your chance to get something quirky with just 38,000 miles on the clock and an all-important LS3 engine under the hood. It is reportedly a custom build because it’s got some changes from stock.
Long, sleek and majestic, the Pontiac Catalina was the iconic brand’s full-size offering for over thirty years. Introduced in 1950 as a trim line, then a stand-alone model in 1959, the Catalina would become one of Pontiac’s most popular models. If you’ve always wanted to be the proud owner of a Catalina, because let’s face it, who wouldn’t, we’ve got a 1962 Pontiac Catalina Restomod for your consideration. This car packs a tasty surprise beneath the hood, and is ready to turn heads.
