I like it! The '54 Pontiacs, like their Chevrolet kindred, are often neglected because of their all-new Buick/Oldsmobile stablemates with their wrap-around windows and curvy chrome. But the Pontiacs had their own style. Your model shows it off beautifully. Thanks for posting.
Here's a similar sedan by Premium X that shows the same styling. Enjoy!

@d-m-holcombe I have the 2-tone blue Premium x 54 Pontiac and really like it. Good value IMO.

Congratulations John M. on the addition of the Conquest 54 Pontiac Star Chief convertible. I added this a few years ago to join with the hardtop in Maize yellow/white. In 1954 my dad bought a new Star Chief Custom four door sedan in Maize Yellow/white with factory A/C. It was one beautiful car.
David H. the Premium X model is the Chieftain series which was on the shorter wheelbase than the Star Chief series. The model is really outstanding and at an affordable price.
