For Sale: 1955 Pontiac Chieftain in Kentwood, Michigan

GR Auto Gallery is excited to present this 1955 Pontiac Chieftain, a striking four-door sedan finished in a two-tone black and grey metallic exterior over a coordinating blue and grey leather bench interior. The panoramic windshield and crisp chrome bumpers reflect the bold optimism of 1950s design, while the matching interior and exterior color palette give the car a cohesive mid-century flair. The wide dash is accented by a large speedometer and stylish chrome controls, capturing the sleek and modern look that defined Pontiac's rebirth in this era.

Power comes from the 287ci Strato-Streak V8 paired with a 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, a setup that elevated Pontiac into the realm of true performance credibility. This engine was a major step forward for the brand, setting Pontiac apart from Chevrolet and moving it closer to the prestige of Buick and Oldsmobile. An Edelbrock carburetor adds a subtle modern touch to enhance drivability, while the classic chrome hubcaps and trim tie the look together.

Inside, this Chieftain carries both original charm and a touch of period-modern upgrades. Along with crank windows and manual locks, it features a modern Sony stereo with cassette for convenience, while retaining classic chrome accents throughout the cabin. The interior's thoughtful blend of originality and functionality makes it a comfortable cruiser that still feels connected to its 1950s roots.

The 1955 Chieftain is a special car in Pontiac history, marking the beginning of the division's performance image that would grow stronger through the 1960s. With sharp styling, timeless mid-century design cues, and the introduction of the Strato-Streak V8, this Chieftain remains an iconic piece of Americana.
