April 30, 1958, Mary Alice Teagardin traded in 1951’s Chevrolet two-door delivery in exchange for Chief Pontiac in 1958. Haydoc Pontiac of Columbus, Ohio gave her $263.55 in Chevrolet trade and offered the Chiefs at a generous $800 discount, which retailed at $3,475.15, down to $2,675.15. Haydoc Pontiac charges $6.15 for licensing and ownership fees.
About 67 years later, the Chief is still on the way and can be yours now.
Your trusted classic rides for Autohunter appears on Autohunter, a 29k miles of the 1958 Pontiac Chief Tri-Power, provided by a dealer in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
Mary Alice doesn’t drive much: The odometer of the Persian black car shows how it’s been since 29,339 miles. Dealers for sale call the car a “real survivor” for good reason. In addition to certain areas of the exterior that were reportedly repainted, the car retains its original interior, engine and trunk. The description of the car written by the dealer says: “I don’t think the car has been separated. Running, driving and functional phenomena.”
The Chief Model was produced from 1949 to 1958. Except for the last year, all cars use the General Motors A-body platform. In 1958, it rode on the B-Body- as well as its assembly line siblings Chevrolet Biscayne, Oldsmobile 88 and Buick Special. Some of the key design elements of the Chiefs’ final year were four-wheel headlights and taillights, as well as honeycomb grilles. The black steel wheels on this car come with a dog ub-foot hub cap, giving it a unique monochromatic look (especially from the late 1950s, when so many cars were finished in two tones or even three tones).
As for running gears, the power is reportedly derived from the “Tempest 395” 370CI V8 that matches the factory three powers. The transmission is a four-speed super hydrogenated automatic transmission. It is predictable based on the driving videos included in the list, the car run, acceleration, handles and brakes. The narrative says that the car “has attracted a lot of attention on the performance.”
The documents accompanying this chief are as compelling as the car itself. Sales include order forms, original sales invoices, owner’s guide and owner’s service policy brochure.
Unfortunately, Haydoc Pontiac will not be able to perform chassis lubrication for the next owner, as the dealership no longer exists. The dealer’s spiritual successor is called Mark Wahlberg Buick GMC, which happens to be located on Broad Street in Columbus, just west than the original Pontiac retailer. I wonder what the service consultant would say if you pulled up in this car and asked for an oil change?
