Beautiful '50. Both my uncles had Chieftains...on a '49, the other a '50, Grandma had a '47 Torpedo, later traded for a '55 Star Chief sedan, which later got traded for a '64 Bonnie...all from A E. England Pontiac in Hollywood, CA.

I worked on my 56 from the ground up! I didn’t buy it all shiny and working! I feel damn good that I worked on it to get it going ! No damn pride in working nowadays!

My father's '53 Chieftain also had a clock that was accurate twice a day. No radio, though. When he was told a radio would cost $102.00 extra (he bought the car new), he said for that money, he could whistle and be happy.

My father bought a 1950 Pontiac chieftain straight 8 2door new in1950 I remember riding in the back seat I was 6yrs old

My dad owned a '50 Pontiac Chieftain, but the back sloped down. His brother also had a '50, but the back was a "humpback" like the one above.

"Torpedo body" was a phrase used to describe those slant back ones - I don't know if it was officially sanctioned.

@@stephenandloriyoung5716 OK, thanks.

I had one of those, a four door, when I was a kid. I traded my 56 Chevy for that and 15 bucks. Now I wish I had of kept both of them. I got rid of the Pontiac and bought a 53 MG. LOL! Paid 65 dollars and a 22 pistol for it. If I knew then...... LOL!

Man of few words. Sweet ride 👍😉

Nice car ! I got a 53 Pontiac.

Silver Streak was a model for Pontiac that year& they painted the ‘waterfall’ inserts on front & back, they were all chrome. Hope you didn’t overpay!

Thank You for the tour of your new/old car. It's beautiful I'm a Red person the car is mint. If you happen to take another vidio of the car. Could take it at night pls just to see the India n on the hood light up pls!

Love your car! I just bought myself a Chieftain and it came with a sunvisor. How did you mount your visor? I'd really like to be able to mount mine!

david barchus ... Unfortunately one of the pistons broke so I had to sell it because the only mechanic I could find around here who could work on it said it would cost $6000 to rebuild and I would have to wait 6-8 months until he could even start on it. I've got a '56 Buick now....

The hood ornament looks like it's from a '54, no?

Well, I had to look it up as I have a '54 Star Chief. It is very similar, an airplane motif without the feathers like they had in '52 and the double feathers in '53. I had a '53 in my yout'. I had to search for non-ethanol fuel recently as ethanol is not good for these old carburetors.

Back when the brights was a footswitch. I had one like this. Navy Blue. Flat head 6 I paid $50.00
