Old Cars Weekly – 1958 Pontiac Chieftain
Story and photos by Brian Earnest
For such a lovely, conservative, seemingly benign family car, Paul Craddock’s 1958 Pontiac Chieftain sedan sure seems to have stirred up more than its share of arguments and discord over the years.The car was a bone of contention between the original owner and his spouse very early in its life, and 52 years later, Craddock still finds himself occasionally sparring with observers who don’t quite believe the car’s amazing originality.But it really doesn’t take much examination to realize this Chieftain is not your ordinary 1950s hobby car. With a paltry 2,549 miles on its odometer, the Starmist Silver sedan is certainly one of the lowest-mileage 1950s Pontiacs in the country, and it may well be the most authentic Chieftain in existence.
