This car is a sweet 1953 Pontiac Chieftan. It has an 8 cylinder flathead with manual 3-speed on the column. Excellent clutch and synchronizers - shifts beautifully.
We purchased in 2007, car originally from Kentucky. That year we replaced the muffler and pipes, spark plugs, front and rear brake drums. The seats are original and in perfect condition. We had the headliner, carpeting, side panels with piping, and trunk all professionally reupholstered. Since we've had it we have only driven it to shows within a 100 mile radius. Otherwise it is garaged and has never been driven in the winter. No rust, good straight body, good paint. The "chief" hood ornament is intact and still lights up. All gauges work except gas gauge. Original radio works intermittently. Good tread on tires.I will also include a detailed workshop manual and original owner's guide (pictured).
We really hate to part with this car but we are downsizing: see our other listings for 1964 Buick and 1977 Lincoln. Please message us with any questions.
