1954 PONTIAC CHIEFTAIN or (Pathfinder, Canadian model)

My dad and I bought this car as our first project in 1998, we restored it with some help to be very similar to a 1960s era hotrod. It has been a ton of fun to drive and attracts all kinds of attention!

- paint has some large scratches and scrapes on hood, roof, front end.

This 1950 Pontiac Chieftain has received a full frame off treatment, and was kept fully Pontiac all the way through, including the freshly rebuilt 455 big block. The 4 in. chopped top was done the right way with led. Additionally, it was decked, Frenched, and shaved. Just about everything on the outside is custom, from the bumpers, grill, blinkers, taillights, to the hood with 200 hand cut louvers in it. Cap it all off with the smoothy chrome wheels, 3in. wide white walls, lowering springs up front and blocks in the rear, and the burnt copper paint, and you have one serious sled. But of course, what is a great hot rod without an interior to match? The power seats and door panels are swathed in a soft and supple white leather with white ostrich inserts. The dash and steering column have been painted to match the exterior. Probably the greatest feature of any good cruiser however is the A/C. Not only is this A/C cold, but it has been custom routed through the original speaker in the middle of the dash. Other interior features include power windows, power steering, power brakes, and a carpeted trunk.

Everything is fresh, new, rebuilt or restored.....350/350.... Camaro front clip with disc brakes.... Full Accu air E-LEVEL whole air ride system with wireless remote controls... All fabrication professionally done etc. 4 inch chop top from noble fabrications...(which for being a fastback is an incredibly difficult task and very expensive procedure)
Frenched, decked, many things shaved...custom interior....tilt power sterring...batt relocated in trunk.... All operable roll down windows front and back..... Many one off custom touches.....
