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.

Junkyard Gem: 2001 Pontiac Aztek
Tue, Jul 11 2017Ah, the Pontiac Aztek. Everyone laughs at the Aztek ... except, apparently, for Coloradans who like to go camping, bike riding, hiking, and all that outdoorsy stuff that folks do in the Centennial State. You'll see Azteks being driven, unironically and without shame, all over the place in the Denver region, and now plenty of them are showing up in the local wrecking yards. Here's a first-year-of-production example in its final campground. These minivans or crossovers (or however the experts finally decided to categorize them) had built-in air compressors, audio controls in the rear cargo area, and other features meant to enhance tailgating, camping, and other activities deemed central to Generation X's allegedly active lifestyle. You could even get an optional camping kit with a tent that attached to the rear of the Aztek. So, it was a General Motors minivan-like vehicle, cousin of the weird-looking Dustbusters of the 1990s, with lots of useful features for those who did more than just commute to work and drop off kids at school. Unfortunately for GM, the Aztek was staggeringly ugly, and Generation Xers were too damned broke to buy new cars in 2001, anyway. I see plenty of them in Denver-area wrecking yards now, along with their slightly-less-offensive-looking Buick Rendezvous siblings, and so I decided to document one before they're all gone.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Aficionauto sits down with The Hoff and KITT
Fri, 10 Oct 2014The 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.
