Pontiac Chieftain 1950
General description :
For sale in our Dallas/Fort Worth showroom is one awesome led sled! This 1950 Pontiac Chieftain has received a full frame off treatment, and was kept fully Pontiac all the way through, including the freshly rebuilt 455 big block. The 4 in. chopped top was done the right way with led. Additionally, it was decked, Frenched, and shaved. Just about everything on the outside is custom, from the bumpers, grill, blinkers, taillights, to the hood with 200 hand cut louvers in it. Cap it all off with the smoothy chrome wheels, 3in. wide white walls, lowering springs up front and blocks in the rear, and the burnt copper paint, and you have one serious sled. But of course, what is a great hot rod without an interior to match? The power seats and door panels are swathed in a soft and supple white leather with white ostrich inserts. The dash and steering column have been painted to match the exterior. Probably the greatest feature of any good cruiser however is the A/C. Not only is this A/C cold, but it has been custom routed through the original speaker grill in the middle of the dash. Other interior features include power windows, power steering, power brakes, and a carpeted trunk. Steal your next car show with some led, or just cruise in serious style.
