1953 Pontiac Chieftain Navigation
In 1953, Pontiac came with a new body style, offering a 122-inch wheelbase and sleeker lines. The windshield was now a one-piece and a standard 'panoramic' windshield adorned the rear for all models. Pontiacs sported accentuated bubble-up fins in the rear for the first time in 1953. The six-cylinder engine was standard. There was a less equipped Chieftain Special and the better equipped Chieftain Deluxe line, as well as the Custom Catalina two-door hardtop coupe.
