Vehicle Description
This 1954 Pontiac Chieftain is affordable fun in the kind of
vintage car that's disappearing from the classic car scene. After
all, you get eye-catching features like the two-tone paint and
straight-eight engine. It's all in a fun cruising machine and all
for an affordable price.
This is a unique and stunning classic coupe. Combining the last of
the old-school, pre-war curves with a sneak preview of what was to
come in the later 1950s, this slick Pontiac manages to be both
sporty and formal at the same time. After all, that minty green is
pure '50s nostalgia, and the deeper more metallic green on the roof
adds a touch of flair. The body is quite straight, and this is
highlighted by the full brightwork package that includes the
intricate front grille, wraparound rear bumper, and emblems
embedded in the rear fenders. Plus, we love the full side trim that
looks basically like a continuous piece as it starts up front and
flows until it frames the bottom half of the curvaceous rear
fender. And as a classic Pontiac, you get the hallmark streaks
running along the hood and matching piece cascading down the deck
lid. In fact, this one even gets the details right with everything
from color-matched fender skirts to the correct polished hubcaps
over whitewall tires.
Inside you'll find a very vintage atmosphere. This is highly
original feeling has also received some attention, and so you get
pieces like newer carpeting and newer cloth inserts on the
button-top seats. The dash is pure jet-age cool, with a giant radio
speaker that's aviation inspired... and yes this AM unit is still
cranking out tunes! And we know you'll love piloting this classic
from behind the original steering wheel and stylish horn
button.
Pontiac's 268 straight-eight motor earned a reputation for being
smooth, reliable, and quite sturdy. These naturally balanced
powerplants had a creamy smoothness usually reserved for luxury
cars, and helped Pontiac transcend its budget-minded market
placement. Authentic right down to the oil bath air cleaner, this
eight-cylinder engine is a real attention-getter for its honest and
correct appearance. This torquey motor is mated to a three-speed
automatic transmission, which helps make this a fine cruiser
today.
This Chieftain is a real driver that turns heads because of its
classic features. It's an honest, intriguing, and affordable coupe
that represents true 1950s motoring. Don't miss out, call
today!
