In the world of rare domestics from the 1950s, it’s hard to get more rare or more desirable than the 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Bonneville. The engine in the Bonneville was a Rochester fuel-injected 347 cubic inch V-8 yielding a major 315 hp. That was mated to a Strato-Flight Hydra-Matic three speed automatic transmission. Price was a ridiculous $5,782 compared to $3,105 for an ordinary Star Chief convertible. Bonnevilles included power everything. |  |
