haha, maybe I ca reveal it now.. I Ibought YET another 56!

but, since its not a Canadian production Pontiac, should I start a thread elsewhere? Its a car that was sold brand new at a Canadian dealership, but its a full size Star Chief Catalina Custom 4 door hard-top. Another unrestored survivor as I like them, with 49k miles on it.

sadly, I cannot keep em all, so the little turquoise sedan will probably have to be put up for sale. I really like it, but I will concentrate on my 59 and the pink 56 Star Chief that I am liking a LOT!

Just a preview:

Love the Star Chief, first year for a Pontiac 4 door hardtop and a low mile all original car. Back up lights look to be in really nice condition. Another nice score for you. Dealers were importing cars from the US in 1956 because of a strike at General Motors in Canada. More expensive for an Americian built Pontiac but a much fancier car built on a totally different chassis than a Canadian car.

This Star Chief is really nice, has that wonderful tri-five 4 door hardtop roof-line and the colours are so 50"s.

As for the turquoise car I'd encourage you to do some photo documentation with it before selling as the car is so original it would be great to have the reference material available for Canadian Pontiac restorers of this era car.

This little bugger is getting the royal treatment underneath.. thats the way to do it: new braces, new inner rocker panels and some small floor sections too. She will be in tip top shape.

Nice! I'm impressed with the stable you are building up there. Givin' her the attention she needs.

I second the motion for a C.P. Feature Car. She is a real beauty.
