Description of 1950 Pontiac Chieftain Deluxe Convertible |
View our eBay StoreSign up for our Newsletter 1950 Pontiac Chieftain Deluxe Convertible Offered as a buy-it-now. Make us an offer! This car has a very interesting history. The seller purchased this fairly rare automobile from the late William H. Leland II in 2010. Bill was the Great-great Nephew of Henry Leland, who of course founded Cadillac in 1902, then went on to found Lincoln in 1928. Bill bought this car in 1952 with just 17,000 miles on the odometer. The original owner was the late Carl Carlson from Worcester, Mass. The car was sold new at the long-defunct Stockhaus Motors in Worcester. This car was originally "Skylark Blue", which was similar to a robin's egg blue. Wanting a black car, Bill hired a professional autobodyman to do a color change from the blue to black lacquer. He did a phenomenal job, as it's virtually impossible to tell that the color was changed. He repainted the firewall, door edges, and the inside of the trunk lid. All chrome was removed from the car to do the repaint. We have many more photographs of this car, please click on any image to be taken to our full-size image list! The Pontiac Chieftain was produced from 1949 to 1958. The 1949 Chieftain and Streamliner models were the first all new car designs to come from Pontiac in the post World War II years. Previous cars had been 1942 models with minor revisions. The Chieftain was initially introduced with four models: Sedan, Sedan Coupe, Business Coupe and Deluxe Convertible Coupe. In 1950, a Catalina Coupe was added to the range while a station wagon was added in 1952, with the demise of the top of the line Streamliner wagon.
