  15. The trunk lid on the base model and the chieftan will interchange w/ tri5 chev but the panel between the rear window and trunk is about 2" on the base and 6" on the chieftan. starchief is about 4" longer in the trunk lid and has the 6" panel between window and trunk.

    ..trying to get a hold of the guy who has this car for sale on craigscam. If he will ever get back to me then maybe ill have a 57 pontiac of my own. Been trying to get another car that i can play with for awhile, and i think this might be the winner...

    Don't see enough of these beauties.. Now, someone tell me if these aren't Pontiacs or '55-'57s because I'm an idiot and can't ID Pontiacs as well as the others. These are the only 2 I have which are off here..
