The 50s saw the birth of many great cars and in terms of luxury, there was heavy competition with manufacturers trying to offer the best in terms of post-war luxury and class. Pontiac’s answer to this whole ordeal was the release of the car we have today, the legendary Pontiac Star Chief. With a reported 78,000 miles on the clock, this 1956 Pontiac Star Chief sports custom looks and serves as one neat Sunday cruiser.
The Star Chief marque is a name that sparked luxury and class amongst the Pontiac lineup during the 50s. Looking at this 1956 Pontiac Star Chief and it's fair to say that you won't find another that sports such a unique exterior. The exterior of this 50s classic is finished off in black and sports flames run across the car. The custom paint work also sees a Custom pinstripe and a custom vinyl top blending in well, the vinyl top sports a sun visor and is removable ensuring open top motoring for you and your passengers. This car rides low to the ground with a set of chrome hubcaps and thin white wall tires, Couple all this with the chrome exterior components that’s in good condition and you have yourself a car that boasts 50s custom styling in true fashion. The gray leather interior of this 1956 Pontiac Star Chief takes a more subtle approach and features a neat blend of factory features and tasteful upgrades. Once comfy in those grey leather seats you are treated to the sight of the car's reported original dashboard that sports an aftermarket steering wheel. The seats are also reported to be powered to suit your preferred driving position.
The second generation Pontiac Star Chief saw a change-up in the engine department, the straight 8 engine was swapped out for a V8 format. This 1956 Pontiac Star Chief sports a 316ci V8 powertrain that was only available with the 56 model year of the Star Chief. Looking at the engine bay and you would note that there is never an absence of color on this car with the engine finished off in a lovely teal color. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a 3-speed automatic gearbox. The current owner reports that the car’s motor, transmission, and rear end are numbers matching but not documented.
Pontiac’s Star Chief was a full-size offering available between 1947 and 1966, across six generations. It represented the top trim level for the Chieftain model, and as such, sat at the upper echelons of Pontiac’s hierarchy. Today’s 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safary 2-Door Wagon Restomod is a bit different, though. It’s a restomod with some neat upgrades and makes for a fine classic daily driver. With over 120,000 miles on the clock, this car has been around quite a bit, but it’s not tired at all. Rather, this Riverside-based Pontiac is ready for even more action if you please. It’s got a 347ci V8 with FiTech Go Tri-Power electronic fuel injection, an aftermarket audio system and even air conditioning!
Pontiac, one of those great American brands that is no more, is something of a legend. Between 1926 and 2010, they’ve given us plenty of great nameplates, some truly awesome muscle cars, potent pony cars and flamboyant full-size sedans. One of their key offerings in that last segment between 1954 and 1966 was the Star Chief. This was initially a top trim package for the Chieftain model before becoming a separate model. Finding a Star Chief isn’t easy because these vehicles were never intended to be collectibles. That’s despite over 203,000 being made in 1955, the year from which this 1955 Pontiac Star Chief hails. So if you wish to own this vehicle, you’d better act fast as it’s in great condition. It’s currently domiciled in Lake Elsinore, California, if you’re interested to go check it out.
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!
If you want a Sixties GTO but can’t quite stretch to the prices that pristine examples fetch, this black 1967 Pontiac LeMans Convertible GTO Tribute is a viable contender to consider. It’s available in Greenacres, Florida, with a 400ci V8 under the hood and a TH400 3-speed autobox for ease of driving. With less than 23,000 miles on the clock, this baby also rocks an aftermarket exhaust, the famous His & Hers shifter, and some aftermarket upgrades too. It’s a cool car to cruise around in, but bury the throttle pedal and it can really take off, with the accompanying V8 rumble making everyone within earshot tingle in excitement.

Aptly named, just look at this fine maroon 1946 Pontiac Streamliner Sedan from Manorville, New York! It’s not hard to see why Pontiac named it the Streamliner, especially with those swooping, aero-inspired rear design aspects. Introduced in 1942, the Streamliner was aimed at offering dependable motoring in the full-size segment, for the emerging middle class. Pontiac were getting ready for the end of World War II and the resultant economic uptick, and they jumped on the bandwagon quite early. Hence, the car sold quite well, but few survived as you’d expect from something that’s eighty years old. This 108,000-mile example is thus a great vintage car to add to your collection, or start a collection with. It’s got a tan interior, a 239ci straight six and a 3-speed manual box to get things moving.
