Description for Pontiac Starchief 1957
Very high quality restoration. The Starchief was the flagship of Pontiac's line up. EXTERIOR: Outstanding fit and finishes. I don't mean it's very good, I mean it is excellent! Up front the massive amount of chrome is show quality. All the stainless moldings down the sides and around the windows are straight and polished like chrome. In back also has massive amounts of stylish chrome, all show quality. Features include fender spears, deluxe mirror, rocker trim, door handle gaurds and... the 4 stars designate the premium Starchief model. The reproduction wide white wall tires on blue painted rims look great. Hubcaps are in excellent shape. The windshield has a stone chip but its actually the original. It still has inspection sticker from 1961. The body's pristine. It's straight, there's no bubbles or rust or damage. Every panel fits square and flush. The paint is better than it left the factory, smooth and glossy. The colors are refreshing, the white with the blue accents are great. INTERIOR: The interior was just redone and it was done to a really high standard. It's gorgeous inside. The seats were recushioned so the new upholstery fits tight as a drum. Has the correct blue fabric with star medalions and white leather trim. The door panels are completely redone in blue and white and have plenty of chrome trim. Has the correct, very short loop carpet with the sewn edges. The steering wheel is beautiful and in mint condition. The dash area is really nice. All the chrome sparkles, even the glovebox door is chrome. Has tissue dispenser. Interior lights work. Overhead the white headliner is excellent and has the chrome ribs. I love the pedals, both trimmed in chrome. The brake says brake, gas says power. ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Detailed to show quality, factory original condition. The entire engine bay is painted beautifully. The engine itself is derailed. Everything is detailed- brackets, wires, carburetor, generator etc. It even has a reproduction tar top battery. Has the correct, big air cleaner. It also features power steering and power brakes. TRUNK COMPARTMENT: Huge trunk compartment, all solid metal. Very clean. Has the proper insulated mat, matching brand new white wall on blue painted rim. It has the complete jack assembly mounted properly. New weatherstrip. UNDERSIDE: Very tidy. Everything is cleaned and painted. Floors look rock solid, no rust. Bottom of the motor is spotless. Has original Hydramatic trans. It has correct spiral shocks in back. Correct type exhaust system. Really, this car is quality. I am very impressed by its condition. Not to mention it is very stylish and classy. Someone will be very proud to own this car.
