The optic on the dash, is that for seeing high traffic lights?

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Correct!

[@scatpackbob3707]

Traffic light viewer! Absolutely gorgeous Star Chief 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@BountifulOne2024]

The item on the dash is a prism. It allows the driver in first position at a traffic light so see the light from the normal driving position. I.e., without having to twist around and look up through the windsheild.

[@robertd8572]

Agree on the trunk light, why can't we do this today :) Beautiful, stunning Pontiac!

[@rar7631]

I was watching a 1958 episode of perry mason the other night and someone pulled up in one like that. Yours is really beautiful 😊

[@DavidJones-rk5do]

Traffic light viewer. Nice car Jay.

My dad had this same car when he married my mom in 59. Same colors, except his was a convertible. BTW, if that's the stock engine, it would be a 347. Also came with tri-power. Love that car and makes me think of the stories he would tell me about it.

[@gregkistner1955]

Such a cool ride! I'd take this one over the Chevy Belair

[@mu99ins]

My dad never bought a new car until he was 51yo. He bought a '57 Pontiac and drove it for less than a year and then sold it and bought a used Rambler, which he drove for about 6 years. Then in 1963, he bought a '64 Chevy II. It was a good car. Only a six cylinder, but had plenty of passing power on the freeway. He hated it because it had a cracked intake manifold, which he never had replaced. He drove that car for 6 or 7 years.

[@robertbowling8393]

Wow! Another one from the era when I was growing up, and what memories this one brings! You're right in saying that the blue top pops! It really sets the car off. Every single thing about this car is amazing. What's not to love in this one? Real class!! P.S: I have no idea how you continue to acquire these cars, but I've watched this video twice now, and it gets better each time! Lol

[@kevinshoemaker6142]

i was the original person who rescued this car and did the first restoration, wish i still had it.

[@lesgriffiths8523]

A nice car??? It is absolutely stunning.........a product of the most exciting time in American motoring.....the 50s......I wish we Australians had access to these automotive works of art. Les Griffiths

[@johnpartipilo1513]

I believe that mystery object on the dash was a sensor that detected oncoming headlights and would turn the high beams off.

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Not quite, but good guess. It was to see high hanging traffic lights better.

[@michaelgarland1337]

Really ??? That’s cool !!! 😎

[@Nebulasecura]

Man I love it when you guys get these kinds of cars in. Just screams 1950s American culture

[@willyboy6126]

*BEAUTIFUL* automobile... *ART* on wheels! 😍

[@marvinhecox8289]

What class Love the 57 Pontiac 👍👍👍👍👍👍😀

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Oh yeah! 😃

[@LivinlifenFL]

I had the absolute pleasure to visit this museum a few years back when I was visiting a friend in Illinois and she knew I was absolutely 1:25 all about cars and let me tell you I was not disappointed it is a car fanatics dream.

[@unclerudy9797]

Beautiful Pontiac !

[@billsmith9570]

Beautiful! Just needs dual exhaust w/glass packs and it'd be perfect.

[@mrknotthall]

That item on the dash would tell the driver when the traffic light changed color if you couldn’t see the traffic light from where you stopped your car under the traffic light.

[@hankklassen4295]

I love that car.

[@richardmccaughey5928]

In 1965 I bought a Star Chief Safari (the Pontiac "Nomad") from the original owner. It was the identical color scheme but my roof was white (which I prefer and, by the way, the blue on the top of yours appears to be a metallic that doesn't match the side trim). It was loaded, down to factory air, the "Wonderbar" radio, and power everything. The only option it didn't have was three two barrel carbs on the 347 c.i. V8. I've always wondered what became of that car after I sold it on a few years later. They have become very collectible as Pontiac made fewer than 3,000 in '57.

[@eduardoquirino8131]

stunning and overwhelming. Love it!

[@BigBishop1]

bonneville is above this?

[@ronstewart3431]

Beautiful car 🚗

[@h8nfcktrds]

That is a beautiful car.

[@danswartwood4580]

Same car different day, LOL. THANK YOU

[@michaelstevens6002]

Fantastic!

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

Glad you like it!

[@johncornell3665]

The object on the dash is a traffic light viewer

[@billbright1755]

A Kaiser/ Frazer would be an interesting find, possibly a bit harder to find OEM parts for, but not everyone has one. The 53 Manhattan could mimic that Pontiac albeit sans the copious chromium accoutrements.

[@VoloMuseumAutoSales]

You mean like this? 😁 kzbin.info/www/bejne/forcgqaGg7R5kLM

[@volkswag12]
