Description : Our Louisville Showroom is proud to offer this 1957 Pontiac Star Chief. The awesome Star Chief was in production between the years of 1954 and 1966 and was the predecessor to the Pontiac Bonneville. One defining characteristic of these Iconic American automobiles was the set chrome trim and stars along its sides. While all Pontiacs were based on a medium sized wheelbase the Star Chief had a longer 123.5 inch wheelbase giving it a much larger presence. This Pontiac came in the showroom with 67,500 miles showring on the odometer. The 350CID v8 idles smooth and sings beautifully. An automatic Turbo400 transmission with a column shift sends the power to the ground. The white vinyl interior is in amazing shape, the black dash contrasts beautifully against the clean white seats. The white convertible top is like new with a clear back window. No tears in any interior pieces as well as the boot cover. The pearl white and red exterior is in good condition with no bumps or bruises. Front and rear chrome bumpers are in great shape as well. Side pipes match the chrome trim and stars from front to back. This is one handsome piece of American roadgoing real estate that will be hard to pass up. Let others know your presence rolling down the road in this full sized beauty.
