STK 3830 1955 Pontiac Chieftan
With its iconic 'Native American' chief hood ornament, the 1955 model marked a significant year for the Pontiac brand. It reflected the styling trends of the mid-1950s with sleek lines and bold accents. This '55 Pontiac Chieftain two-door sedan has been the beneficiary of a refined restoration and is a solid example of this model. The exterior was carefully refinished in two-tone Sequoia/Valley Green and is accented by handsome chrome/stainless. GM 15”x7” rallye wheels with trim rings/centers mount Nexen radials. The interior is in outstanding condition, nicely appointed with the modern amenities of the time. All basic components such as the dashboard, headliner, carpeting and door panels are excellent. The sedan is also equipped with what appears to be factory air conditioning (works very well) and a modern digital Pioneer AM/FM/CD sound system that is top-shelf. This big Pontiac is powered by a 287ci V8, the first overhead valve V-8 Pontiac had ever offered. In these early years of overhead valve V-8s, the Pontiac division produced only one engine displacement size per year. This original engine design was a hallmark of the Pontiac brand for years, simply utilizing bore or stroke increases to create larger displacement and more power. (The 389ci version of this engine, released in 1959, became Poncho lore as it powered the early GTOs.) This 287 is equipped with a 2-barrel carburetor and is backed by a factory Hydra-Matic transmission. The solid chassis is equipped with power steering, power drum brakes w/dual master and custom exhaust system. This Chieftain is ready for a new owner who will appreciate the history and classic style of this full size Pontiac. ALL VEHICLES SOLD “AS IS”.
