This is my brothers 1956 Pontiac Custom Star Chief 2dr Hardtop .He is the third owner of this very original Pontiac the milage is indeed 43,278. This car was purchased new  in a small town in Western Pennsylvania. 4 years later the husband passed away, the wife attempted to drive this rather large vehicle and on one of her early attempts hit the mailbox comming into the driveway denting the hood. She put the car in the garage where it sat for the next 35 years. The second owner purchased the car at her estate sale 1996. He had the gas tank cleaned and sealed flushed the cooling system, changed the oil and filter, added a new fuel pump and a tune up, new battery and fresh gas hit the key and she fired right up. Next he replaced the hood had the body refinished to original colors and the seats and door panels recovered. He enjoyed the car for the next 8 years. Advancing age and failing health prompted him to put this car up for sale. My brother purchased it in 2004 and has enjoyed it since. He took the car with him to Indianapolis Indiana where he resides. In the years he has owned it it performed flawlessly with only routine maintenance needed. This car can be driven anywhere without concern, it runs that good. the motor is amazingly quiet the trans shifts as new, and the ride is outstanding. The tires are the only things showing their age, good tread but starting to dryrot. My brother had a health issue last year the results are keeping him from enjoying the car, so it is time for a new steward to enjoy this car. Please enjoy the Pics I have posted. Call me( I am handling this for my brother) or ask questions via the auction. Remember this is not a show car! It is a car that can can be enjoyed being driven and shown with confidence. Again the car is located in Indiananpolis Indiana. Payment is as follows $500.00 at close of sale, Cashiers check or pay-pal. Balance within 10 days Cashiers check or Pay-pal.

A pair of Mitsubishis, the Mazda CX-30 and electric incentives | Autoblog Podcast #673

Fri, Apr 9 2021

This week's Autoblog Podcast features Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore and Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski as they debate the merits of the redesigned Subaru BRZ and Toyota 86 coupes and whether or not they are distinctive and powerful enough to attract buyers. The duo spends some time discussing ongoing EV and infrastructure legislation before turning their attention to a trio of crossovers. Greg muses about the 2021 Mazda CX-30 before Jeremy talks about the refreshed 2022 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross and completely redesigned Outlander. We get nostalgic as we remember the dearly departed Pontiac GTO before wrapping the podcast up by making one more suggestion to a longtime listener who is shopping for a vehicle to replace her aging Honda Pilot.

Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT

Fri, 10 Oct 2014

The latest video from The Aficionauto is the perfect palate cleanser for Knight Rider fans after finding out that Justin Bieber is the voice of KITT in an upcoming film. Host Christopher Rutkowski says that the Knight Industries Two Thousand is one of the most requested vehicles to appear on the series and for good reason - Michael Knight's Pontiac Trans-Am is among the most famous cars to ever appear on television.
While the video isn't able to showcase one of the original KITTs from the series, it does get star David Hasselhoff to drive his personal replica and talk about the lasting legacy of the show. The highlight here might be seeing The Hoff back behind the wheel in the open desert basically recreating Knight Rider's opening sequence.
With all of its flashing lights and gizmos, you can probably make the argument that KITT is pretty cheesy, and the show itself was never exactly a pillar of high-quality drama on television. Despite that, the series still provides a ton of good-natured fun, and The Hoff's continued enthusiasm for it is pretty infectious. Check out The Aficionauto video to take another ride with Knight Rider.

Baseball team to dress like Trans Am, complete with screaming chicken

Fri, Feb 8 2019

Come to think of it, the Screaming Chicken actually sounds like the name of a minor league baseball team. Well, it isn't, but the famous logo of the same name that graced the hood of the 1970s Pontiac Trans Am will at least be making it to a baseball uniform this summer. The Lansing Lugnuts, a Single-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will be rocking these special uniforms to honor the late Burt Reynolds and his film Smokey and the Bandit. By default, it will also be honoring the car the movie made famous: the 1977 Trans Am painted black with gold trim and, of course, the screaming chicken on the hood. This is a pretty good history of the emblem. So why the Lugnuts and Burt Reynolds? Although he claimed to be born in Georgia for much of his career, he admitted in a 2015 autobiography that he was in fact born in Lansing, Mich. After a few years, his family settled in Florida. Not exactly hometown hero stuff, but minor league baseball promotions have been made of more tenuous connections. The Burt Reynolds tribute night will be July 20, and if you want to get a screaming chicken jersey for yourself (I mean, wouldn't they be perfect for a cars and coffee?), the game-used jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game.
