This 1956 Pontiac Star Chief convertible coupe is said to have had a refurbishment completed in 2007, just before the current owner's acquisition in February 2008.
It is refinished in pink and gray over black and white and is powered by a 317ci V8 linked with a four-speed Strato-Flight automatic transmission. Equipment includes a white convertible top, a Continental spare tire kit, power steering, 15 steel wheels with bright hubcaps, a non-working Pontiac push-button AM radio, and an analog clock.
This Star Chief is now offered by the seller on behalf of the current owner with a car cover, 2008 purchase documents, and a clean New Jersey title in the owner's name.
The car was refinished in pink and gray during refurbishment work that is said to have been completed in 2008. Exterior details include a replacement white convertible top, a Continental spare tire kit, and chrome bumpers, window surrounds, and trim.
The 15 steel wheels feature bright hubcaps and are mounted with an older set of Coker bias ply whitewall tires. Braking is provided by drums at each corner. Power steering was added in 2025.
The cabin houses front and rear bench seats that were reupholstered in black and white as well as a color-coordinated dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Interior appointments include a Pontiac push-button AM radio, locking glovebox storage, and an analog clock.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and fronts a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for amperage, coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The fuel sending unit was replaced in 2025. The five-digit odometer shows 44k miles, approximately 370 of which were added under current ownership. An odometer disclosure statement from the seller's purchase in 2008 is shown in the gallery below.
The 317ci Strato-Streak V8 was factory equipped with a four-barrel carburetor and was rated at 227 horsepower and 312 lb-ft of torque when new.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed Strato-Flight automatic transmission.
