Vehicle Description
Take some time to dig into the details of this 1956 Pontiac Star
Chief Convertible. It has V8 power, classic distinction, and a
terrific color combo inside and out that are ideal for a droptop
like this.
A convertible like this makes an instant impression. It was
restored in a two-tone Orange Sherbet and Ivory that has a hint of
metallic element. So you're going to love the way the colors
radiate every time you take this classic to the ice cream shop. A
thoughtful two-tone is just the cornerstone of a great 1950s
classic, and this is an ideal year to own a Pontiac. They were
beginning their performance stride with a new V8, and 1956 was the
final year for the now-iconic Sliver Streak hood design. This
styling touch was really done with an artist's eye for its final
year. After all, you have the bright ribbed strips boldly on the
hood up front, and in the rear, they are expertly integrated into
the tailfin's lines. Plus, you can tell Pontiac's stylists took
plenty of time with the intricate design on the bumpers, wraparound
taillight trim, and full-length side trim that separates the
two-tone. So it's great to see it all so complete and shining
today. And more than just look attractive, you'll notice by the way
the doors close with authority and the hood lines up nicely that
they spent time investing in the fundamentals on this Pontiac.
With the touch of a button the white convertible top powers down to
reveal a similar orange and cream two-tone of the exterior. So when
everything coordinates so well inside and out (right down to the
convertible boot,) you know this is the kind of car you'll cruise
with pride. The whole presentation has been about carefully giving
you classic looks with practical appeal. For example, the seats,
door panels, and carpeting all have the look of 1950s style, but
they feel fresh from a solid investment. Even the trunk has a
vintage style, but underneath the carpeting is modern Dynamat
insulation. You'll love slipping behind the artful classic steering
wheel and gazing at all the classic brightwork on the dash. But if
you look closely, you'll also see that the radio is a retro-style
unit that's a modern AM/FM digital tuner. So you even get to choose
your favorite driving tunes in this very vintage ride.
The engine bay continues the attitude of original-style with all
the right upgrades. Pontiac was just beginning its new V8 era in
'56, and so it's great to have a correct 316 cubic-inch motor under
the hood. You can tell there has been a solid investment here by
the clean color-matched inner fenders and the bold blue
presentation of the motor. And while this is show-ready, they also
made sure this is a true driver with great upgrades like the
alternator and aluminum radiator. So it fires up readily, runs
strong, and makes a sweet sound out of the dual exhaust. The TH400
three-speed automatic transmission is a great upgrade for easy
cruising, and those Coker whitewalls have an excellent tread to
take you for many miles.
Beauty and distinction come together in a terrific classic V8
convertible. So you know this deal won't stay with us long. Call
