Vehicle Description
This 1951 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 metallic paint and
straight-eight engine. It's all in a fun cruising machine and all
offered 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, the correct
Berkshire Green is pure '50s nostalgia, but it was resprayed later
in life to have a nice hint of metallic for an added touch of
flair. In fact, this one even gets the details right with
everything from color-matched fender skirts to the correct amber
chief leading the way. And It has a nice upgraded cruise attitude
with the color-matched windshield sunshade, smoothie wheels, and
whitewall tires. The body is quite straight, and this is
highlighted by the full brightwork package that includes the
intricate grille, wraparound bumpers, sweeping side trim, and
emblems embedded in the rear fenders. And as a classic Pontiac, you
get the hallmark streaks running along the hood and matching piece
cascading down the deck lid.
Inside you'll find a very vintage atmosphere. This has a highly
original feeling that has also received some attention. So you get
vintage pinstripe look to the button-top seats, but a far fresher
feel than the 1950s. And the door panels are done to match. The
dash has a terrific art deco kind of style with the big ornamental
speaker grille in the center, classic steering wheel w/Pontiac logo
horn button, and a stylish full gauge package in front of you.
Pontiac's straight-eight motor earned a reputation for being both
smooth and quite sturdy. These naturally balanced powerplants had a
creamy smoothness usually reserved for luxury cars, and that helped
Pontiac transcend its budget-minded market placement. Authentic
right down to the bright yellow block and oil bath air cleaner,
this 268 cubic-inch eight-cylinder engine is a real
attention-getter for its honest and correct appearance. More than
just look great this runs with the strength of a well-maintained
machine. Plus, you have great cruising features like a Hydramatic
four speed automatic transmission, a nice modern tread behind the
classic whitewalls, and upgraded front disc brakes.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and service
manuals. 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
