    Top of the line Star Chief. Not a perfect restoration but it doesn't need to be, it's a beautiful car! It is also exceptionally solid and straight.
    EXTERIOR: The body is in excellent shape. it fits really nice, the doors click shut. It is straight, no rust blisters or cracks that I noticed. The paint is older, it has proven itself. Overall not a perfect glass finish but it is glossy. The chrome on the car over all is nice. There are some new pieces, some real good original pieces and then there are a few pieces that need should be replaced. The two bumperettes in front and two filler panels in the continental kit are poor. It is decked out with goodies including the continental kit, stainless skirts and lower 1/4s trim, fuel door and door handle trim. The coolest feature is the airplane hood ornament that has a lit up Indian head. The wire basket hubcaps are a rare feature. Of course it has big whitewalls. The dual bands that run down the hood are duplicated on top of the rear fins. It has a power convertible white top in very good shape. The reverse lights in back are optional too.
    INTERIOR: The upholstery actually has all been redone- seats, armrests, door panels are all in excellent condition. Seats feel good and firm too. There are seat belts added to the front. Carpet looks like it's been replaced. The instrument panel area is not beat up, cut or broken. All the chrome trim, knobs, gauges are in really nice shape. The painted metal is showing age. It has optional tissue dispenser. luster has a tissue dispenser below the dash. Visors are real nice, it has a day night mirror in excellent shape.
    ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Clean, orderly engine bay. Components look proper. Has complete air cleaner assembly. The motor is painted neatly, has original silver streak valve covers. It is the 287 V-8 with the optional 200 hp version. Has 4 barrel carb. It runs smooth. Vacuum wipers were upgraded with electric.

    Beautiful 50s classic! And yes, the continental kit is growing on me by the second! 😍

    What a beautiful representation of the awesome 50s!! This one brings back childhood memories, having watched them cruise the street and roads daily! Of course, no one even gave thought that one day these would be such collectables! It's amazing how the 50s had their own appeal, and then to jump into the 60s .... The same level of appeal to car enthusiasts!! I am still awed by the excellent way the design engineers excelled in the way they made the chrome accent the style of the body! Example, just look at the stainless sweep at the rear of those gorgeous skirts!! This car is awesome in every respect. Great find, and well presented! Thank you!

    A real looker! The continental kit gives it more style than a Caddy! Beautiful. :-) 👍👍

    The 1st year of the Pontiac V8. A very flexible engine. From a 287 to a 455, with the same block (essentially). Upgrades and strengthening as years went by. This engine has a great history.

    I think that's the car Ricky, Lucy, Fred and Ethel hopped in and went to California!!! That is the most beautiful car you've had in a long, long, long time! I would gleefully pay to remove the Continental kit and replace it. Not groovin' to that look.

      Yes is like the Pontiac on I Love Lucy. I'm not crazy about Continental tire kit myself,but some just love that look.
