Background Story of this 1956 Pontiac Star Chief

Overview of 1956 Pontiac Star Chief 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.

With a name like Star Chief, this Pontiac immediately exudes a very native vibe.

This particular example hails from Madera, California, and has done 57,000 miles so far. Plus, it’s got a host of upgrades and enhancements for you to enjoy.

1965 Pontiac GTO

PENDING SALE
$72,997

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!

2006 Pontiac Solstice

PENDING SALE
$16,900

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!

1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$54,999

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.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS

PENDING SALE
$109,999

Chevy’s answer to Ford’s pony car challenge, the Camaro came in 1967 and brought a sister along for the ride, in the shape of the Pontiac Firebird. This was a smart move by General Motors as it allowed them to sell two suitably varied models in the same segment but with much of the same underpinnings, engines and other components. The Firebird was axed in 2002 but the Camaro continued to be made until 2024. That makes it the second longest-running pony car in history. Today, we’ve got a nice first-generation 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS for sale in St. Cloud, Florida. This 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS 396 is a show-stopping example of American muscle restored to concours-level detail. Verified by its X66 code and built at the Norwood, Ohio plant, this real-deal Super Sport coupe combines factory originality with subtle performance enhancements that elevate both its drivability and collectability. With its matching-numbers big-block, correct Turbo 400 transmission, and period-authentic Holley 4346 carburetor, this Camaro is the perfect blend of raw 1960s muscle and expert craftsmanship.

1967 Chevrolet Corvette

$89,999

Chevy’s second-generation Corvette was made from 1963 to 1967, but across that relatively short lifcycle, over 117,000 examples found homes. This highlights how popular the Corvette was back then, much like it is now. The second generation or C2 brought about many features that we know from later ‘Vettes, such as pop-up headlamps, the boat-tailed styling, and the exclusive use of V8s for the Corvette – the C1 did offer a six cylinder early in its lifecycle but that wasn’t deemed worthy for a top-tier sports car. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Coupe for sale from Shohola, Pennsylvania, and let us tell you it’s a catch. With a growling 327 under the hood, this is classic American car nirvana at its finest. Plus, given the great condition of the car, it’s a sure-fire appreciating asset if you continue to look after it. If you’re interested in getting your hands on this beauty, we’re waiting for your call or DM.

1977 Chevrolet Corvette

PENDING SALE
$20,000

Chevy’s third-generation Corvette of 1968 to 1982 was the best-seller in the entire range, in terms of generational numbers. Thanks to its super-long production run, over 542,000 were made, despite it carrying on through the dreaded Malaise Era. During these dark times for automotive enthusiasts, Chevy worked hard to maintain the Corvette as one of the fastest American cars around – of course that was a subjective term, but impressive, nonetheless. Hence, a C3 Corvette is a robust way to enter the world of classic American cars. Want to know more? We’ve got a 1977 Chevrolet Corvette for sale from Littleton, Colorado right here. It packs a 350ci L48 under the hood, paired with an automatic transmission to make it more convenient for those who never bothered to learn stick shift.
