The black steering wheel with the horn button and floor mounted brake pedal are a dead give away of no power steering and brakes. Power steering would have a white steering wheel with a full horn ring. Power brake pedal would be mounted on the inside firewall with a larger pedal. The firewall mounted black box is for the heater which would be mounted under the dashboard if the car had power steering and brakes.

[@What.its.like.]

Awesome thank you so much for all that added information I was wondering where the white wheel came from that is a super classy wheel.. I wasn’t sure if it was for the Bonneville and Starchief series.. I never saw a heater core in the place that this one was I was going to see that the fact I did say that but then I cut it out because I wasn’t 100% certain that that’s what that was.. and it’s super interesting because it’s never on that side or very rarely is it on the driver side.

[@gcfifthgear]

And to avoid confusion, models with power steering had "POWER STEERING" on the horn button--and the brake pedal was labeled "BRAKE" and the accelerator was labeled "POWER!" (My dad worked for a Pontiac dealership during the 1950s, and talk about long-winded model names, he drove a four-door Star Chief Custom "Transcontinental" Safari station wagon at the time. It came out at the same time as the Bonneville convertible, at mid-year. Thanks for showing the video--and I hope I added a few more details on the '57 Pontiacs!

[@danielimpastato3466]

Great review. I think the 1955 and 1956 were much more similar than the 1957. Pontiac began to market to the younger middle class office workers with the 1957 model year. Doctors and lawyers still wanted the Cadillac. Such an exciting history and so sad they are gone forever.

[@What.its.like.]

Thank you so much glad you dig this episode, Pontiacs are really hard to do for some reason they make it so confusing with all the different models they offered and a lot of times it wasn’t models it was just the names they had for roof lines or a special trim piece that they put on..

[@aaronwilliams6989]

You sure said that right.

[@gcfifthgear]

Bunkie Knudsen became general manager of Pontiac just before the 1957 models came out--and management was thisclose to merging Pontiac into Oldsmobile because 1) sales had plummeted from '55 to '56 and 2) the silver streaks made them look like Grandma and Grandpa's cars. In the illustration showing the Star Chief convertible, the silver streaks on the hood were airbrushed out of the picture (pre-production picture?). Knudsen ordered the silver streaks removed, which was no mean trick since they fit into little troughs on the hood...and the tooling had to be redone! And if that wasn't enough, Bunkie's father, S. E. Knudsen, put the silver steaks on the 1935 models to make them stand out! So the son undid what his dad had done!

I owned one of these! 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Catalina 2-door hardtop (same body shell as the '57 Chevy Bel Air 2-door hardtop). I bought mine in 1974 in Los Angeles, from the original owner, who had repainted it from the original colors of Limefire and Seacrest Green. It had been repainted Metallic Forest Green with a white side sweepspear. Mine had PS/PB, Wonderbar radio, heater, wide whitewalls, Rochester quadrajet carburetor, and of course, the 347-V8 with Dual-Range Hydramatic, and Positraction rear end (first year it was offered). I really enjoyed driving mine! Interior was original Limefire and Seacrest Green with real leather seats. I owned it until selling it to a member of the National POCI Pontiac Club in Sacramento, California, in 1986.

Awesome thank you so much for sharing your experience with owning this car your car sounded amazing out of all of the 57 GM products I think the Pontiac is my favorite..

[@NeedtoSpeak]

Jay….you hit it on the head when you noted that you basically bought a shell, and then had to add on “extras” to get any kind of functional vehicle. Almost all the companies did it, but it was what made car buying somewhat fun. A million color combinations, to boot. And those what seemingly seem minor body style changes drove an incredible desire to get the newest model each year.

[@What.its.like.]

What’s crazy is the higher you go up on the scale like the Bonneville the Bonneville came pretty equipped granite you could still add some extra options on that car as well.. =) but I like that you can customize your car to fit your needs kind of wish car companies today kind of sort of did that offered a plain Jane model for those that want the car but don’t want every single option that goes with the car and then you could just buy the stuff accordingly.

[@gcfifthgear]

Not unique to Pontiac--virtually all cars built before, say, 1965, came from the factory with very little equipment. (Just imagine buying a current-model car without radio, climate control, power everything, or an automatic transmission!)

[@carlmontney7916]

I've always considered the 1957 model year to be the apex of 1950's automobile styling. I'm trying to think of a 57 model by any maker that didn't look really good. Right off the top of my head. I can't think of one right now. But I know GM, Ford and Chrysler all their 57 models looked great. By 1958 you could see the handwriting was on the wall. The cars all started getting larger. Oh, and I believe that box on the firewall is the heater core. It has brass or copper tubing coming out of the top of it and if you look on the side of it you can see there's an air intake of some sort that would allow air to flow through the heater box. Probably independent of the air within the engine compartment.

The 1957 Pontiac was an improvement in styling over the previous model year...gone were the tacky "silver streaks" on the hood. Body engineering was the same as Chevrolet, except with longer wheelbases. Mopars had much better design for 1957, but not as good quality as GM. Harley Earl was then near the end of his career and piling on tons of gorpy trim.

[@TheInvincibleArtist]

Wow! Excellent review! Best one on a 57 Pontiac yet, including every detail that I’m admiring about my 57 Chieftain and many things I’m learning through your video. I’ve only had mine for 1 year, and am so glad I have a complete video like this to finally look at every detail of this gorgeous ride! The color combination really has captured my imagination because I want something very similar, and am torn between going back to the original Surf Green. It still has the green firewall with the hand written numbers on it, so it’s a cool piece of originality like a signature. Love how you pointed out that the grill looks like an early 50’s Merc! That’s an important detail that I’m always pointing out and really like about the 57. I wanted an early 50’s Pontiac with the Light up Indian head hood ornament, so the early 50’s grill styling is a plus for me! Great job on filming, great personality and great motivation on building my car! I’ll be finally putting up videos of my car in different phases. This is an awesome history lesson on my car that I can watch repeatedly and learn something new every time! Thank you! Thank you Sir! Oh! Last thing, you mentioned you loved the back styling and said it’s not your favorite, but you like it. It’s one of my favorite parts of the car because the sharp wings are reflective of the Iconic 57 Chevy, which everyone knows, but it has its own charm! I’m not from the 50’s era so this super rare car is new to me! You have excellent taste and attention to detail, so I’m wondering which rear design is your favorite?! Lol!

Great review, thanks. I remember the very first time I saw the 57 Pontiac. I walked around the corner from school and in the showroom was a Nassau Green with a Braeburn green spear. I was 9 years old. I walked into the showroom and a very nice man talked to me about it, opened the hood, let me sit in it. I was in awe and knew I wanted one one day. As you can gather, I'm still in love with that particular car. That's 65 years ago. Thanks for the memories with this one. PS. Caddy had the "dip" also as did Chevy and Olds and Buick.

[@austinevplab7167]

That doohickey is indeed the heater core.

[@automatedelectronics6062]

One of the things that I learned from a man who worked on the 1957 GM assembly lines in California is that he doesn't recall a Rochester Fuel Injection unit ever being installed at the factory on any other car but the Corvette. 1958 was a different story. Because GM made complete installation kits for the RFI, most were probably installed at the respective new car dealerships. Speaking to another person who worked at GM new car dealerships, in those years, he confirmed that the RFI units had been installed at the dealerships and he doesn't remember a new car coming in with it already installed, including most Corvettes. Even when new, the RFI required lots of tuning at installation and even afterwards. It seems like the dealer installed RFI was like the later AMC cars with the Go-Packs, with could have also been installed at the dealerships. I don't doubt the 1957 Pontiac here, but I don't remember seeing that shift quadrant before. Pontiacs usually had the dual drive quadrants or the PNDSLR quadrants. The "1" quadrant position was actually 1st and 2nd gears. On Chevy and GMC trucks with Hydramatic I remember seeing quadrants marked P-N-D-3-1-2-1-R. The "D" position might have even been marked 4-1. The earliest ones may have not had a "P" position because I believe that they still used the 2nd generation Hydramatic, whereas the cars used the 3rd gen Hydramatic known as the "Jetaway".

[@What.its.like.]

Thank you so much for all the information and insight =)

[@jonathanmorrisey5771]

The 1st-gen HydraMatic [1939-51] including war years has a 4-position quadrant N-D-L-R. No PARK position and the trans locks in reverse when the engine is off to keep the car from rolling when parked. The 2nd-gen HydraMatic [1952-55] has the 5-position quadrant with drive split into Dr⁴ which shifted thru all four ranges and Dr³ which shifted 1st thru 3rd. Still no PARK position. The 3rd-gen [1956-64] finally got a Park position and kept the dual-range Drive shifting pattern. Reverse was next to Low for ease of rocking the car in mud/snow. Buick's Dyna-Flow and Chevrolet PowerGlide 1950-57 use the same shift pattern.

[@automatedelectronics6062]

@@jonathanmorrisey5771 Yep, most of us transmission people know all that. The 3rd generation Hydramatic was known as the Jetaway(not to be confused with the later Olds version of the ST300). Still with the sliding idler gear for reverse, the transmission shifted gear ranges by filling and dumping 2 fluid couplings, which promoted smooth gear changes. The Chevrolet Powerglide and Buick Dynaflow were 2 separate transmissions with nothing in common. The various Dynaflow generations used the same shifting quadrants from day one until the end of production in 1963. The original Powerglide, like the Dynaflow, was a non-shifting torque converter automatic. In 1953, the Powerglide added automatic shifting between Low and Drive. In 1957, Chevrolet added the Turboglide, which was an aluminum-cased non-shifting transmission with a variable pitch, multi-stator torque converter-based automatic. It was closest to the final generation Buick Dynaflow, but was entirely different. Both were failures. The aluminum-cased Turboglide was the basis for the next generation Powerglide, replacing the cast-iron Powerglide. The aluminum-cased Powerglide was continued and was the basic automatic in Chevrolets, Buicks, Olds and Pontiacs through the 1972 model year, but in the middle of 1972 began being phased out. Essentially, the Powerglide was replaced by the TH350 in 1969, sharing similarities. For 1972, a new TH250 was introduced and first appeared in Chevrolet Vega's. Many Vega's with automatic transmissions used the TH250 from 1972-on. The Powerglide was used in all Chevrolets but Corvettes and was even paired with the 2bbl. 350 V8 in the 1971 fullsized cars. Before it was done, the Powerglide received another modification, called the TorqueDrive, it was a non-automatic shifting 2-speed mostly used in the Nova, but is extremely rare. It operated like the first generation torque converter Buick Dynaflow.

Great video! Pontiacs were really great cars and were worth the slight extra price you paid over a Chevrolet. I noticed a small detail that I did not know. The brake pedal is not suspended. It comes through the floorboard. Ford started the suspended pedals un 1952. I noticed the brake pedal is suspended on your 1955 Dodge video. I "assumed" GM would suspend their pedals beginning in 1955, but apparently they did not. If anyone can shed light on this detail I'd appreciate it. I did some watching of your other videos and this Pontiac is odd! The 1956 Buick and Cadillac pedals are suspended. The brake pedal in the '57 Chevy is also suspended. So why is this Pontiac different?

[@What.its.like.]

That’s a really interesting point you brought up I didn’t really notice it but somebody else in the comment section that it looks like this car had disc brakes that’s why it had a different wheels on it maybe they redid the pedal when they switch the brakes I don’t know why they switch the pedal.. but if I was going to guess that would be my guess they went to a different master cylinder set up but the crazy thing was was the master cylinder wasn’t on the firewall instead there was that heater core, Very interesting
