1955 Pontiac Chieftain

The Chieftain model built by Pontiac from 1949 through 1958 was the first all new car designs to come from the manufacturer since the beginning of the US involvement in WWII in 1942. It was an exciting time for the US and auto manufacturers alike. This particular car was owned by the nephew of a woman named Mona who was the personal secretary to the head of Pontiac in the Pacific NW for thirty-five years. Mona would get a new Pontiac every two years and the family would find themselves buy them used when she was done, Mona was also on a first name basis with John Delorean. This particular car was not owned by Mona, but the story is cool and the nephew did own two of her cars over the years. This is a really nice clean example that needs nothing to be enjoyed today. It starts right up, runs, drives and shifts nicely with vintage A/C and heat that work great. All the lights and gauges work as well.
