1957 PONTIAC STAR CHIEF

Details

In 1957 Pontiac wanted to improve the brand image by focusing on performance without compromising luxury. They decided to remove the traditional Silver Streak on the hood and go with the new Star Flight design which included a beautiful chrome grille and sporty side trim with missile-shaped spears behind the front doors. This Star Chief was treated to a complete frame-off rotisserie restoration which was completed in July 2015. The car is show-quality throughout and has only test miles since

completion. The body was media blasted then epoxy primed and finished and the frame and suspension parts were disassembled, sand blasted and painted before being reassembled. The body is extremely straight and the original color combination of Raven Black paint with white accents is truly stunning. Everything on the exterior was restored or replaced including all-new glass with windshield washers. The car sits proudly on Coker whitewall tires with OEM Spinner hubcaps. The all-new interior was duplicated to exact factory specifications along with all-new wiring and the Silver Beige Metallic and Ivory leather looks rich and feels amazing. It’s equipped with factory air conditioning, new power windows, NOS steering wheel, adjustable seat, tissue dispenser, Wonder Bar radio, dual rear seat speakers and power antenna. The trunk compartment is nicely detailed and includes the spare tire with tools. The engine compartment is nicely detailed and is home to the original, and rare to find, 347/290hp V8 Tri-Power engine that is coupled to a Hydra-Matic transmission and breathes through a dual exhaust system. This Star Chief is equipped with power steering and all-new power brakes, lines, shocks and springs. This car was judged at the Pontiac Club International Car Show in Louisville, KY on July 25th, 2015 and was given the Silver Award. It has recently been completely serviced which is documented with an invoice that is included.
