This 1955 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible is a stunningly restored example of Pontiacs top-of-the-line premium model for 55..Originally making its debut in 1954, the Star Chief became Pontiacs prestige model sitting at the top Pontiacs passenger car hierarchy and was equipped with Pontiacs straight 8 engine..When the 1955 Pontiac models were introduced to the public in mid-October 1954, Pontiac had completely re-designed the exterior appearance of the Star Chief and had another trick up its sleeve, 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, including three new star emblems on the front fenders and doors as well as a light up “Indian Chief” hood ornament..The new 55 Star Chiefs were also 11 inches longer than the previous year adding to the upscale look and feel of the car..This particular example comes to us from a southern-based collector who acquired the car nearly 30 years ago and had the car completely restored approximately 15 years back, and has meticulously cared for the car ever since..Powering this 55 Star Chief Convertible is a 287.2 Cubic Inch Strato-Streak V8 engine, paired with a single 4 barrel carburetor..The 287 Strato-Streak V8 is hooked up to a Hydra-Matic Automatic Transmission so that just about anybody can take this 50s classic for a cruise around the block..This 55 Pontiac is loaded with desirable options!.With power front disc brakes.
