the car looks extremely impressive with all it's original logos and
its original vintage 'Pontiac Chieftan' hood ornament, original
'Tom Ray Pontiac' dealer license frames and boasting all new
chrome, refurbished stainless steel, a restored interior, brand new
'Classic Coker' wide whitewall tires and it's original spare wheel

remarkable daily driver with the transmission shifts smoothly
through all the gears, a newly installed power brake booster and
with the temperature always remaining cool!Pontiac's sportiest and
top-of-the-line 1950's model, the Star Chief had all new and
typical Harley Earl styling for 1955 but with lots of brightwork,
colorful two-toning and plenty of 1950's chrome and also of course
boasted Pontiac's first modern V8. The car was easily identified by
its chrome star trim along its sides, a feature all Star Chiefs
were equipped with and between 1954 and 1957, the Star Chief was
Pontiac's prestige model. When the storyline of 'I love Lucy'
pointed towards a Hollywood setting in the 1954-1955 season, the
characters "drove" to the West Coast in a 1955 Star Chief
convertible. Typical for the 1955 Pontiacs is the design with two
wide "Silver Streaks" running the length of the hood.This is a rare
opportunity to own a great daily driving and never abused example
of a one family owner since new and recently restored and always
rust free 1955 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible in now as close to a
pristine daily driving example as you will find and one very rare
and highly desirable, collectible and unabused example of one of
the outstanding mid-fifties classic American cars.
