The Pontiac Star Chief was manufactured between 1954 and 1966.
It was Pontiac's top trim package on the Pontiac Chieftain, with later generations built on longer wheelbases, and serving as the foundation platform for the Pontiac Bonneville.
The car was easily identified by its chrome star trim along its sides, a feature all Star Chiefs were equipped with.
The Second Generation Star Chief was from 1955 to 1957 and featured an all-new body, the straight-eight was superseded by the new V-8 power in 1955.
Typical for the 1955 Pontiacs is the design with two wide Silver Streaks running the length of the hood.
The hood ornament Indian was amber plastic that lit up when the headlights were turned on.
Also for 1955, the new Star Chief Safari two door hardtop wagon, which was similar to Chevrolet's Bel Air Nomad, was introduced, shared with the Pontiac Chieftain.
This variant lasted through 1957; after that the Safari name was used for all of the division's standard four door wagons.
The Safari was introduced on January 31, 1955, over three months behind the rest of the 1955s.
For 1956 the design was lightly revised, with heavier looking bumpers and a vertical slash on the front door above the swage line.
In 1957, the high performance Star Chief Custom Bonneville was introduced as part of its divisional head's push to raise the marque out of the doldrums.
The silver streaks running down the hood were dropped for the new Star Flight design.
All gauges were placed in an oval on the dash and the side trim had a missile-shaped spear behind the front door.
