1955 Pontiac Chieftain

• Original VIN: L755H24627

The 1955 Pontiac Chieftain, while an entry-level model, boasts an impressive appearance with bright trim and a striking two-tone paint job. This particular Chieftain reflects a significant investment in its restoration.

History:

• Purchased over 20 years ago along with its twin brother, both vehicles were restored by a father and son to create a matching pair.
• Restorations included body-off work and meticulous detailing.
• Acquired at a car show in Connecticut in 2002 after negotiating for the pair; one was sold, and this one has been cherished ever since.

Condition:

• Mileage: Only 14,110 miles since the restoration.
• Exterior: Marietta Blue and Beaumont Blue two-tone, a period-correct color scheme that remains attractive. Vintage wheels are painted Marietta Blue, fitted with classic dog dish hubcaps and whitewall tires.
• Interior: Features pleated upholstery on wide bench seats, matching door panel inserts, plush carpeting, a mint-condition dash, and a retro steering wheel with the Chief logo. All gauges are functioning properly.

Performance:

• Engine: The 287 cubic-inch V8, a standout feature of the 1955 models, offers smooth performance.
• Transmission: Four-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly.
• Recent Maintenance: All fluids have been changed, brakes and wheel cylinders replaced, wheel bearings repacked, a complete tune-up performed (including plugs, cap, rotor, and wires), and the fuel sending unit replaced.

This Pontiac Chieftain is a true time capsule, ready for its next owner to enjoy cruising in style.
