"Dollar for Dollar You Can't Beat a Pontiac"
When you drive a Pontiac cross-country -- taking hills and mountains as they come...exploring little-known byways...covering the many miles a day the vast spaces of our big country require--that's when you most appreciate Pontiac's fine-car luxury and smooth, steady big-car performance. You're easy and relaxed behind that mighty power plant -- the most thoroughly proved engine in any car. City traffic is no problem -- your Pontiac is so responsive, so nimble and alert. And you ride all roads in the roomy, beautifully styled body without annoying jolt or vibration, for Pontiac provides the luxurious comfort and long-wheelbase road-ability of America's costliest cars. Luxury and performance far beyond its low price! The Star Chief Custom Catalina. A General Motors Masterpiece.
This rare Pontiac Star Chief has always been garaged and cared for. It was acquired from a classic car enthusiast family who wasn't driving it as often to car shows as they would like. Therefore, it is time to rehome this beautiful car to the next owner.

The car runs and drives very well, makes good power, and is very reliable. The automatic transmission shifts well at all speeds and the car tracks very straight down the road. No problem at all staying with modern traffic on the highway. She has been serviced well through the years. This is a car you can get in drive right away and have some fun with.. The original 6 volt radio works with both of the original speaker locations in the front and back, but now with wireless blue tooth. So you can listen to all of your favorite tunes with your wireless device. Those golden oldies sound especially good! The original electric clock has been serviced and keeps great time too...and to top it off...The Indian head hood ornament lights up when you turn your headlights on!
This is a beautiful car inside and out. The original color of Maize Yellow really stands out in a crowd. While there are some very minor flaws or touch up areas, due to normal age and driving, the car is very pretty overall and displays well at the car shows and cruise-ins! The interior is mostly the factory original. A cover was added by the previous owner to protect the original front seat and prevent any further wear and tear to the original leather. The styling of the inside and outside of the car is just exceptional everywhere you look. Beautiful original dash and steering wheel! All of the glass is in good condition, the windows are tight, and roll up and down easily. The doors shut exceptionally well with a nice THUD. Engine compartment and trunk are nice and tidy looking for your car show display. Underneath the car looks great also. Comes with the original owners manual and some literature/displays. This Pontiac is sure to be a hit at all of your local car shows.
