Popular Post munzieb Posted October 19, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 19, 2020 The 1955 Pontiac Star Chief was produced for 1954 to 1957. It had a V-8 287HP 4.7 L engine and came in a 2-door coupe and 4 door model. It had several distinctive features, 2 broad chrome bands that ran up the hood and a hood ornament with an Indian head that would illuminate when the headlights were turned on. It was also recognized by the 3-star emblems that ran along the side of the body. The Star Chief was the precursor to the Bonneville though the Chief name was associated with later models also. I had to go big on this plaque because of the size of the text. I used Good-Times font that is very similar to the Pontiac font. The dimensions are 18” x 12” on BBPW and a 1/4” backer.

Rockytime Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) When I was a kid we used to call Pontiacs "Pump Jacks." Don't know why bit I loved them. I always go to dinner on Tuesday evenings and pass a '55 Pump Jack near the restaurant. Beautiful work!

ben2008 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Very nice fretwork. I know someone who has that exact same model car, only in blue and white. I have ridden in it. They are built like a tank. It's a real classic. munzieb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
