Post-War Pontiac designs were quite something to behold, and the Chieftain was their full-sized car from 1949 to 1958 that embodied everything about American motoring, right down to sheer size and road prominence. If you’re a fan of Fifties cars with those imposing, bulbous body styles, may we present this worthy 1954 Pontiac Chieftain Sedan for your considering. Having done just 62,176 miles, it’s in great condition inside and out, and awaits its next owner.
Stretching 203 inches long for 1954, this 1954 Pontiac Chieftain Sedan presents all those bulbous curves and lushly chromed elements in a silver paint job. This design is the work of the legendary Harley Earl, the man who pioneered tailfins, wrap-around windscreens, and the use of clay modelling in the automotive industry. Everything on this car is in pristine order, right down to the badges, rear wheel spats, and white roof. Even the tires are period-correct whitewall units. Likewise, the gray interior on this 1954 Pontiac Chieftain Sedan is in great order, with the front and rear bench seats harking back to a simpler era where it was not uncommon to find three adults up front, and four or five in the rear. The dash showcases the period art deco style, with chrome trims, a push-button radio, central clock, and ventilation system controls. The thin-rimmed steering wheel is a delight to hold, and the gear shifter is mounted to the steering column. Wind up windows and ash trays complete the interior amenities, as were typical of the time. The trunk contains the spare wheel, and the trunk liner is probably one of a handful of parts that show the age of this car.
V8s were the powerplant of choice in the Fifties, although the Chieftain also offered an in-line six for the less adventurous, as well as an in-line eight between 1949 and 1951. 1952 to 1954 saw the 268ci (4.4L) I8 lurk beneath the hood, as it does on this 1954 Pontiac Chieftain Sedan, and it produced 127hp when new. This car sports a Hydramatic automatic transmission to send power to the rear wheels, and drum brakes take care of stopping duties.

Pontiac’s Chieftain line-up was the automaker’s full-size offering from 1949 to 1958 across three generations, and were their first post-war designs. These full-sized cars were offered in a dizzying array of body styles, including two and four door sedans, two door coupes, two door hardtops, convertibles and station wagons. There was a Catalina for everyone. Powered by stout V8 engines making moderate but reliable power, this was dependable American motoring at its best. However, this 1956 Pontiac Chieftain Catalina Coupe is a bit of a deviation from the norm as it’s got some tasteful upgrades and enhancements. With 78,000 miles, it’s got a lot of life left in it too.
One of the most influential cars of the '60s, the GTO was a slap in the face of corporate America. When General Motors banned their auto divisions from going racing, savvy people like Bill Collins, Russ Gee and John Z. DeLorean found a way round it. They realized that they could just offer race-ready street-legal machines to customers, who could then, ahem, do as they pleased with them. Enter the GTO, its name inspired by the legendary Ferrari 250 GTO no less. What better way to enjoy the fruits of their labor than with this first-generation, fully restored 1967 Pontiac GTO Convertible that we’ve got for sale right here? Step right up folks, here’s your chance to own an American icon.
In 2002, after a glorious run across four generations, the Pontiac Firebird was due to be put to pasture. Pontiac’s iconic pony car was saying goodbye to the world, although its Camaro sister car would continue for over two more decades. It was a sad year for enthusiasts, given that the Firebird had become quite cult hero. The second generation starred as Jim Rockford’s car in The Rockford Files. Then, the third generation became Knight Rider’s KITT, one of the most-loved cars of the silver screen. You’d be hard-pressed to find another automotive nameplate with a similar level of recognition by the public due to its Hollywood appearances. So, if you want to own a Firebird from the last year of production, and one with some serious power under the hood, check out this 2002 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6. This 116,000-mile car packs quite a wallop and has undergone handling and braking upgrades too.
The Pontiac GTO was born out of sheer grit, a bit of cheekiness, and a desire to circumvent official company rules that seemed ridiculous. By the early 1960s, General Motors had banned their auto divisions from participating in auto racing. This meant that divisions could no longer field machines that could duke it out across America, and fight for who made the fastest car. Of course, this didn’t mean that you couldn’t sell potent, street-legal cars for customers to use to race. This was what John Z. DeLorean, Russ Gee and Bill Collins came up with. The result was the GTO, with the name inspired by Ferrari’s legendary 250 GTO. The GTO ran for five generations before throwing in the towel by 2006. That makes first and second generation GTOs excellent classic cars that can still burn rubber in anger when desired. This 1968 Pontiac GTO is one such car. This 38,000-mile, numbers-matching machine has been restored, with many mechanical parts replaced as well.
