Star Chief |
|
The luxury line of the Pontiac for 1956 is the magnificent Star Chief series which has five editions in all. Each has the big 124' wheelbase (except Safari) and is 2.4 inches longer than last year's model. The Star Chief models can be quickly and easily identified not only by their impressive length, but by their more elaborate side molding. Other identifying features are the addition of the name "Star Chief" ("Safari" on the Star Chief Station Wagon) to the front doors and an ornate upper rear fender molding. Catalina models and the Convertible also wear a lower rear fender molding of new design. For prompt identification from the rear, three stars are judiciously spaced beneath the name "Pontiac" on the rear of the trunk compartment. |

870 |
|
One of the first things that you notice on the 870 series are the side moldings. Unlike the Star Chief series which has a tapered molding coming down from the Ventipanels, the 870 has one of constant width. On the rear fenders you will also find three reflectors which have been placed lineally on embossments to enhance the beauty of this series. Looking at it directly from the rear, you will see a new gull-winged handle has been placed on the trunk lid and rear fender ornaments have been atractively restyled. The name "Pontiac" is now scribed above the popular snap-open lock. With four popular models to choose from. the 870 is sure to be a style and value leader for the year 1956. |

860 |
|
Here is the series that offers Pontiac size, performance and dependability at its very lowest cost. For the most part, many of the beauty features seen on the Star Chief and 870 models can all also be found on the 860, and many interior and exterior refinements that are oftentimes only found on cars costing hundreds of dollars more are standard equipment on the Pontiac 860. Models in the 860 series carry the same grille, rub molding and rear fender ornamentation as the 870 series. With all that it has to offer for 1956, the Pontiac 860 is sure to appeal to the buyer with a very fine sense of value. |
