Among the Hot-rod crowd, these Pontiac Chieftains are forever cool! And, this particular '51 is set up perfectly for crusin'. Originally equipped with a “Strait-Eight” engine, and now a more updated, and reliable small block Chevy, this Pontiac starts right up whether warm, or cold, and runs excellent. The lowered stance, and low, soft rumble of the dual exhaust places this Chieftain in the sweet spot of hot rod coolness!
Fresh, clean, comfortable bench seat interior makes for driving this Pontiac a pleasure everyday, and would make a perfect daily driver as well as a cool car for the car shows, and cruise-ins.
Easy power steering, and excellent brakes just ad to the reliability and enjoyment of driving this now orphaned piece of Americana.
The two-tone paint scheme was well done and not only looks excellent on this car, but is also rather unique!
Finished off with classic Chevy Rallys, and the lowered hot-rod stance give this Classic Pontiac a desirable look for most anyone.
The bottom line is, if you've been on the look for a cool hot-rod that you can actually drive around any day, anytime, in comfort, style and uniqueness, well, this 1951 Pontiac Chieftain 2 door should really fit the bill! Ultra Cool!!
