Vehicle Description
In 1957 Pontiac wanted to improve the brand image by focusing on
performance without compromising luxury. They decided to remove the
traditional Silver Streak on the hood and go with the new Star
Flight design which included a beautiful chrome grille and sporty
side trim with missile-shaped spears behind the front doors. This
Star Chief was treated to a complete frame-off rotisserie
restoration which was completed in July 2015. The car is
show-quality throughout and has only test miles since completion.
The body was media blasted then epoxy primed and finished and the
frame and suspension parts were disassembled, sand blasted and
painted before being reassembled. The body is extremely straight
and the original color combination of Raven Black paint with white
accents is truly stunning. Everything on the exterior was restored
or replaced including all-new glass with windshield washers. The
car sits proudly on Coker whitewall tires with OEM Spinner hubcaps.
The all-new interior was duplicated to exact factory specifications
along with all-new wiring and the Silver Beige Metallic and Ivory
leather looks rich and feels amazing. It's equipped with factory
air conditioning, new power windows, NOS steering wheel, adjustable
seat, tissue dispenser, Wonder Bar radio, dual rear seat speakers
and power antenna. The trunk compartment is nicely detailed and
includes the spare tire with tools. The engine compartment is
nicely detailed and is home to the original, and rare to find,
347/290hp V8 Tri-Power engine that is coupled to a Hydra-Matic
transmission and breathes through a dual exhaust system. This Star
Chief is equipped with power steering and all-new power brakes,
lines, shocks and springs. This car was judged at the Pontiac Club
International Car Show in Louisville, KY on July 25th, 2015 and was
given the Silver Award. It has recently been completely serviced
which is documented with an invoice that is included.
