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.
This second-generation 1956 Pontiac Chieftain Catalina Coupe is a two-door coupe as you may glean from the pictures, and it wears a very period-correct and eye-catching white and turquoise color scheme, with lovely art deco chrome strips running down the hood. Look closer and you will notice the upgraded headlamps, retro-style 15-inch American Racing wheels and overall hunkered-down stance. All chrome and badges are in place too, including the mascot atop the radio antenna. Step aboard the interior that is spacious enough for five occupants and you will notice that many knobs and switches wear dice – another quirky little detail on this car. The original gauges are there, but the steering wheel has been upgraded to a sportier, three-spoke unit. A plaque informs that the body was built by Fisher, which was a common practice in those days. The carpets are reportedly new as well, and the center console hosts a pair of cupholders too. Two speakers live on the rear parcel shelf for your tunes.
The second-generation Chieftain came with V8s that displaced between 4.7 and 5.7L and put out up to 227hp. However, this 1956 Pontiac Chieftain Catalina Coupe seems to pack an upgrade in the shape of an Offenhauser V8 engine with Tri-Power triple carburetor set-up feeding it air and fuel. Drive is sent to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission. The seller reports that the master cylinder has been rebuilt, and that there are new radiator hoses, gaskets and a replaced fuel line.
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.

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.
