Pontiac styling was all new for 1955. Sharing much of its underpinnings with Chevrolet and based on General Motor's 'A' body, the aim for 1955 was increased sales for Pontiac. New V8 engines meant top speeds of over 100mph with the 0-60 dash of around 12 seconds. For 1956 changes were relatively minor. Front end styling was slightly cleaner, a four door hardtop joined the range, and the V8 was upgraded. Our rendition is finished in Chesapeake Blue Metallic.
