Overview of 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible For Sale by Owner

Pontiac is no more. In 2010, GM shuttered this iconic American brand that was renowned for its “We Build Excitement” tagline. This wasn’t some newfangled brand either, Pontiac’s roots can be traced back to 1926. While models like the GTO, Firebird Trans Am and Fiero steal all the limelight today, here’s a somewhat lesser-known name. Produced between 1954 and 1966, the Star Chief represented the top tier trim of Pontiac’s Chieftain series of full-size cars. Buyers were offered choices of sedan, convertible, coupe, hardtop and station wagon, depending on generation. Today, we have a second-generation 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible for sale from Madera, California. With a mere 60,071 miles to its name, this two-tone Star Chief represents a fine American classic car that will of course appreciate in value as well. Snap it up, soon!

Exterior and Interior

Dressed in Canary Yellow and Sun Beige, this 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible portrays the sunny outlook of promise that was evident in the colors of Fifties cars. World War II was in the rear-view mirror, and things were looking up. The car also packs the Heavy Chrome Trim package, as well as chrome wire-spoke wheels. And of course, wide whitewall tires are included too, because what is a Fifties car without whitewalls? Meanwhile, since this car is a convertible, it’s got a white soft top that’s power operated because Pontiac was aimed at giving buyers some luxuries too! Plus, a dual exhaust system ensures that the car’s V8 makes all the right noises as you cruise along. The interior of this 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible comes in black and white vinyl, and features the AM “Deluxe” push-button radio. There’s also a heater and defroster unit, as well as a chrome steering wheel horn ring. Moreover, the front and rear seats comprise broad benches for added convenience and comfort.

Engine

This 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible packs a 316ci Strato-Streak V8, which was Pontiac’s first in-house V8, taking over from their straight eight line-up. With a 4-barrel carburetor, the engine was rated at around 216hp and 315lb-ft. Power goes to the rear wheels via 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
