Big Chief.

I have this one too and think it and the 2-tone blue convertible are one of FM's better efforts.

NICE Geno! It classes the place up!!   

Nice pics Geno, I had to remove the skirts and wires on mine.

@david-vandermeer oh man David. It looks WAY better without the skirts. Was it a difficult mod?😛😎

Used my dremel with a grinder attachment. After removing the body from the frame.

@david-vandermeer Man, it looks so much better. I do have a Dremel.😁

My original version of this Pontiac, which was the original release from FM, had "thin white walls" on it.  Certainly they were not "period correct", as "thin white walls" did not come in to vogue until 1962.  So yes, this always bothered me!  Then FM did a later release of the car with the "correct wide white walls" and I was able to obtain one on the old Diecast auction site.  I still have the "thin whites" version as well.  

The 55 Star Chief Pontiac is one of my all time favorite cars.

@bob-jackman Mine too Bob. I pretty much like all the 50's Pontiac bodystyles. They were handsome cars throughout the 50's. JMHO though. 😁

I got to looking through my pics and noticed that I didn't have any pics of this model. An oldie, but I love the 55/56 Pontiacs. I don't understand why FM never capitalized on making a '56.😟

fantastic setups there Geno, interest everywhere in the pics, yet Pontiac features so prominently.

@geoff-jowett thanks Geoff,  I certainly do appreciate it.😊
