That's awesome. Back when vehicles were unique and they were built like tanks. And hood ornaments were the shit.

LOL ain't that the truth... we pushed it out into the driveway and back in... fucking weighs nearly 2 tons

I'm pretty sure that's the model that eventually killed Pontiac as a brand.

You said '53 right? Yep, that's was the beginning of the end for them.

roflmao, 1953? That's about 2 years after they went downhill.

What really shocks me... this thing is 57 years old, and there are parts on it better built than my old Grand Am.

That Indian 'emblem' on the front, is that the light that projects the image?

From barrett-jackson.com

The Pontiac Chieftain head hood ornament is amber in color, as opposed to clear, and it lights up when the parking lamps or headlamps are on. Quite a sight.
