Old Cars Weekly – Car of the Week: 1955 Pontiac Star Chief Convertible
If a group of curious teenagers would have had just have 15 measly dollars balled up somewhere in their pockets on that fateful day back in 1976, Harold Cary probably wouldn’t still have his beautiful 1955 Pontiac Star Chief convertible.
By the time the group of teens stopped at Cary’s Mason City, Iowa, home, he had enjoyed 15 years of happy times with his Pontiac, but he just couldn’t envision keeping it for ever. “It was sitting outside of our house, and one day a group of three or four kids were driving by, and they stopped and wanted to buy it,” Carey recalls. “They wanted to hot rod it, I guess.
“They offered me 35 bucks for it, but I wanted 50. I suppose at the time the car wasn’t all that special … But I decided to keep it.”
