Documented 1 Owner Texas Car, Well Preserved, Stock & Correct, Straight 8, Auto
1950 Pontiac Catalina Deluxe
844-582-6139 Documented 1 Owner Texas Car, Well Preserved, Stock & Correct, Straight 8, Auto Stock #: 3777-DFW Exterior Color: Solar Gold Interior Color: Dark Gray Body Type: Sedan Transmission: 4 Speed Automatic Drivetrain: RWD Engine: 268 Straight 8 Title Condition: Clear This 1 owner 1950 Pontiac Chieftain Deluxe does everything right. It's got an honest '50s look that takes no liberties with the original design, a neatly restored interior that follows suite, and a torquey straight 8 that moves all that metal with relative ease, making it the ideal cruiser that's up for anything you'd like to do.Combining the last of the old-school, pre-war curves with a sneak preview of what was to come in the later '50s, the slick four-door manages to be both sporty and formal at the same time. The Solar Gold paint job emphasizes the relatively compact roof and long body, and remains in quite good condition with only a few imperfection that naturally come with age. Sure, there are a few nicks and scratches, but considering that the 113k miles are believed original (the evidence is certainly there) it's really in amazing condition for such an original car. All the usual Pontiac styling cues are there, including the streaks running along the hood and deck lid, the Indian-head hood ornament (probably the coolest trim piece of the entire decade), and the stars embedded in the stainless side trim. The chrome is in extremely impressive condition, possibly refinished/replaced at some point, but not to where it distracts from the rest of the car. And with a proper sun visor and fender skirts, this 4-door beauty looks every bit the part of a special touring sedan.
One glance inside will convince you that someone really cared about keeping this one looking original throughout the years. That's factory replacement upholstery, which means that when it needed some TLC, they somehow managed to find vintage material that are an exact match and stitched it in place. That includes the seats, carpet, and door panels. Is it seamless? No, as the headliner could use an upgrade, but it does show a dedication that many restored cars seem to overlook. The dash is pure jet-age cool, with a giant radio speaker that looks like an airplane's exhaust, and a slick pod of gauges ahead of the driver. Stylish bright trim on the door panels give a hint of things to come in the fabulous '50s, and the back seat is incredibly well preserved. More evidence of the car's easy life can be found in the steering wheel and horn button, which are in outstanding condition when you consider that they're original. A single owner's gentle hands are the secret to that specific preservation. Only the trunk appears to be completely untouched from new, although still tidy, and carries a full-sized bias-ply spare that is likely that car's original.
Pontiac's smooth, reliable, and utterly indestructible 268 cubic inch straight-eight got a compression boost in 1950, making 120 horsepower with the same creamy smoothness usually reserved for luxury cars. The engine bay is highly original, showing signs of careful maintenance but no trouble signs, and the plugs, wires, and starter are appear to be newer, so it starts almost instantly. Paired with a 4-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission, this Poncho is a fantastic highway cruiser that doesn't mind hitting the road. The chassis is very solid, and a reproduction exhaust system gives it an appropriate muted rumble that sounds luxuriously powerful, and it glides along on the original suspension with ease. Original steel wheels have been finished to match the body and then fitted with hub caps and wide whitewall tires, completing the look perfectly.
Incredibly original and very well preserved thanks to only one dutiful owner since new, this is a fun, handsome, unusual car that's finally ready to find a new home. Call today!

We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES: A documentation fee of $199 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT: We require a non-refundable $500 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase.
