This *RESTOMOD* (1958 Pontiac Chieftain Convertible) Was Beautifully Restored In Sweden

This particular Chieftain Convertible was restored by professionals in Sweden. It was later purchased by someone, and it got shipped over to Norway.
This car has been equipped with some Bonneville parts such as: trim, trunk, dashboard (with A/C vents) etc...
now a little history lesson:
The Pontiac Chieftain is an automobile which was produced by Pontiac from 1949 to 1958. The 1949 Chieftain and Streamliner models were the first all new car designs to come from Pontiac in the post World War II years. Previous cars had been 1942 models with minor revisions.
This particular car is the (Third-gen Chieftain)
Chieftains went through another major styling change in 1958. All models were given honeycomb grilles, quad head and tail lamps, concave rear fenders. The Super Chief sub-series was promoted to full model status leaving just the standard array of Chieftains as the entry level Pontiac. The "Sportable" transistor radio became an option (a portable, removable radio), along with air-suspension and a limited slip differential.
As in years past, the V8 engine was enlarged. For 1958 it grew to 370 cu in (6.1 L) and made 240 horsepower (180 kW) and 270 horsepower (200 kW) depending on version. The 1958 models were the last Chieftains to be produced. It was replaced with the all-new Catalina in 1959.

Rare and nice, not really a restomod. Except for hub caps and being lowered a little that the way they came. Bonneville for 58 came stock with three two barrel carbs. Very nice.

Gorgeous color combo. Pontiac bragged about having 66 different color combos to choose from in 58. Crazy! This Chieftan very ‘Bonneville-like’ with options like factory air and power windows. 3x2 carb set-up standard on Bonny’s but was also available option on Chieftans. So f’g beautiful!
