The Pontiac Chieftain was an automobile produced by the Pontiac Motors Division of General Motors from 1949 to 1958. Chieftains were one of the first all new car designs to come to Pontiac in the post World War II years. Previous cars had been 1942 models with minor revisions.
The Chieftain was initially introduced with four models: Sedan, Sedan Coupe, Business Coupe and Deluxe Convertible Coupe. In 1950, a Catalina Coupe was added to the range while a station wagon was added in 1952.
First generation Chieftains came with a choice of four engines:
a 239.2 in³ 6-cylinder engine making 90 horsepower (67 kW) at 3400 rpm
a 239.2 in³ 6-cylinder engine making 93 horsepower (69 kW) at 3400 rpm
a 268.2 in³ 8-cylinder making 103 horsepower (77 kW) at 3800 rpm
a 268.2 in³ 8-cylinder making 106 horsepower (79 kW) at 3800 rpm
The horsepower differences between each of the 6- and 8-cylinder engines were due to changes in compression ratios.
The present exhibit has got an 8-cylinder engine.
