1956 Pontiac Star Chief Custom news, pictures, and information
The Star Chief line was produced between 1954 and 1966. A Star Chief made it to the big screen, enjoying a brief cinematic debut on the 100th episode of I Love Lucy, when the entire gang drove out to California.
Production ran from 1954 to 1966 and was a luxurious convertible that served as Pontiac's premium model. The model could easily be identified by its chrome star trim along the sides.
In 1957, Pontiac introduced the Star Chief Custom Bonneville, which was a high performance model set to improve Pontiac's image and put it among the elite of performance marques.
As the 1950s came to a close, the Star Chief's design became very similar to the Catalina. The difference between these two easily identifiable, with most of the differences under-hood. The Star Chief came standard with a higher horsepower engine plus interior trim upgrades and built atop a longer Bonneville platform.
By 1967, Pontiac was no longer using the Star Chief name. In its place was the mid-priced model, the Pontiac Executive.
