For Sale: 1957 Pontiac Star Chief in Rowley, Massachusetts

1957 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Catalina

The 1957 Pontiac Star Chief was Pontiac's flagship luxury-performance hardtop. Available as a 2-door coupe or 4-door sedan without center B-pillars, it marked the final year of the second-generation Star Chief and introduced Pontiac's "Star Flight" styling.

When the 1957 Pontiac lineup debuted with its stroked 347-cubic-inch V8 and restyled Star Flight bodywork, contemporary automotive journalists were caught off guard by how quickly the formerly conservative brand accelerated.

This 1957 Pontiac Star Chief pairs a Raven Black body with a white hardtop roof and white side spears, complemented by a two-tone red-and-white interior. Power comes from a numbers matching, 347-cubic-inch V8 motor with Tri-Power (known as the Strato-Streak) and is paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

Documentation is provided that a full mechanical restoration was performed on this Star Chief in the spring of 1994 with the odometer showing 31,147 miles, currently the odometer is showing 36,021 miles. The black exterior shows well and is accented by the brilliant chrome features of this 1957 design. The black paint has the typical imperfections that would be expected on an older repaint.

The recently upgraded two-tone upholstered seating is enriched by the mid-century jet-age styling of the dash. Although the dash mounted factory radio is inoperable there is a secondary radio mounted under the passenger seat. This Pontiac has interior options as power steering and brakes, 2-spoke steering wheel, and air-conditioning (inoperable).

With spinner wheel covers and newer Coker Classic Wide Whitewall tires this 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Catalina is ready to roll.
