Additional Description: History of the 1954 Pontiac Star Chief1954 was the first year for the Pontiac Star Chief. The new model was a top-of-the-line car available as a four-door sedan two-door convertible or Custom Catalina two-door hardtop. The Star Chief frame was 11 inches longer than a standard GM A-body chassis.The only engine offered with the Star Chief line was a straight-eight of 268.4 cid. The engine delivered 122 hp with a manual transmission and 127 hp with the four-speed dual-range Hydra-Matic. The automatic engine owed those additional five horsepower to a high compression cylinder head which was separately available as an option on manual transmission cars. The three-speed synchromesh manual was standard equipment but out of 115088 Star Chiefs produced in this year only 571 were made with the manual transmission.The 1954 Star Chief was available in a Deluxe series including a four-door sedan and two-door convertible or the higher-end Custom series including a four-door sedan or two-door Custom Catalina hardtop. The Custom series received chrome roof trim and a more luxurious cloth and leather interior.The least expensive of the 1954 Star Chiefs was the Deluxe sedan at $2301. The Custom sedan cost $2394. The convertible would cost a buyer $2630 while the Custom Catalina hardtop ran to $2557.Beyond their dramatic rear fender length the 1954 Star Chief may be distinguished by the five silver streaks on the hood and three stars on each rear fender.
