NO RESERVE!
Nineteen fifty-seven is most famous as the year that Pontiac
gave up some of its most sacred traditions in favor of performance
excitement. Most notably, the “Silver Streaks” on the hood, which
had been a Pontiac trademark since 1935, disappeared. In keeping
with industry trends, chrome and flash expanded throughout, with an
oversized grille and a body-side “sweepspear” that held a
contrasting color molding. Suspension was improved, and the V-8
engine was enlarged to 347 cubic inches and could produce, in its
hottest standard form, 290 horsepower.
Aside from the limited-production Bonneville, the most prominent
1957 Pontiac was the Star Chief.
This Star Chief had a rotisserie restoration completed in July of 2016. It was restored to original specifications and the options include power steering, power brakes, electric windshield wiper, windshield washer, rebuilt factory air conditioning, reconditioned fuel tank, new power windows, new glass, tissue dispenser, rebuilt Wonderbar radio, NOS steering wheel and a correct rear seat switch. It has Coker whitewalls with OEM Spinner hubcaps. The all new chrome and stainless were redone and professionally polished and the interior has been duplicated to exact factory specs. It has all new wiring. The engine is the 347ci V8 with tri-power, dual exhaust and an automatic transmission. The frame and suspension were sand blasted and painted before reassembly. It has all new brakes, brake lines, shocks and springs. The body was media blasted then epoxy primed and finished. A wonderful example.
