1955 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible at Ellingson Motorcars in Rogers, MN

This 1955 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible is a stunningly restored example of Pontiac's top-of-the-line premium model for '55. Originally making its debut in 1954, the Star Chief became Pontiac's prestige model sitting at the top Pontiac's passenger car hierarchy and was equipped with Pontiac's straight 8 engine. When the 1955 Pontiac models were introduced to the public the Star Chief and had a brand new Overhead Valve V8 engine. The new OHV V8 engine was named the "Strato-Streak" and was the first of its kind for Pontiac although the division did in 1932 equip some of tis models with flathead V8s. The newly restyled Star Chief had a flatter looking hood along with additional trim and moldings and the light up "Indian Chief" hood ornament. This particular example comes to us from a southern-based collector who acquired the car nearly 30 years ago. Powering this '55 Star Chief Convertible is a 287.2 'Strato-Streak' V8 engine, with a single 4 barrel carburetor. It's hooked up to a Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission. This '55 Pontiac is loaded with desirable options! Including power steering and power front disc brakes, to provide plenty of extra stopping power. The black canvas power convertible top goes up and down with ease using the dash-mounted switch. This Star Chief Convertible as also retrofitted with a modern air conditioning system so that you can stay cool even on the hottest summer days. The chrome and brightwork around the exterior of the car is in wonderful shape as well. The exterior of this Pontiac has been refinished in beautiful Polo White paint. Riding on wide whitewall radial tires outfitted with wire basket wheel covers, this 1955 Star Chief has a fantastic look and even better ride. The front and rear bench seats have been correctly reupholstered in Red and Ivory vinyl and are in fantastic shape. The dash, door panels and steering wheel all appear to be in their stock configuration and are in wonderful condition. The dash is equipped with a 120 MPH speedometer, battery gauge, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, and fuel gauge, as well as a clock and AM radio that has been retrofitted to receive FM stations. The air conditioning controls are tastefully integrated into the glove box so as to not take away from the stock appearance of the car. The power windows work great.
