"Wild West Chieftain"
• This vehicle is located at our Indianapolis facility - 2461 Reeves Rd #194, Plainfield, IN 46168 •
This 1953 Pontiac Chieftain is covered by the Gallery Guarantee.
With The Gallery Guarantee, you'll enjoy a 3-month/500-mile vehicle service contract and a multi-point safety inspection for ultimate peace of mind. Plus, explore exclusive warranty extension options and take advantage of our Buy Back Guarantee. It's not just a purchase, it's a promise that ensures your journey begins with confidence.
This 1953 Pontiac Chieftain Sedan Delivery is a striking blend of vintage Americana and modern custom craftsmanship. Originally believed to have served as either a hearse or ambulance, this long-wheelbase classic now turns heads for entirely different reasons. Finished in an eye-catching two-tone combination of tan over deep red, the car's sweeping bodylines are complemented by gleaming red and chrome wire wheels, setting off its unmistakable presence on the road. The look is both elegant and intimidating — a perfect reflection of its wild west-inspired personality.
Under the hood lies a modern heart: a fuel-injected LS1 V8 paired with a 4L60E automatic transmission. The setup delivers both reliability and performance, backed by a GM 10-bolt rear end, dual master cylinders, and power steering for a confident driving experience. The engine bay is as polished as the rest of the car, featuring custom chrome engine covers and a throaty Magnaflow exhaust system that ensures this Chieftain sounds every bit as good as it looks.
The custom interior is a true showpiece, paying tribute to the rugged spirit of the old American West. Longhorn bull hide is used extensively throughout the cabin, from the seating surfaces to the door panels, giving the interior an unmistakable texture and authenticity. Longhorn bull horn door pulls add a distinctive touch, while a hand-crafted headliner continues the Yosemite Sam and “Cowboys vs. Indians” motif that ties the entire design together. Every detail has been thoughtfully executed to make this Chieftain unlike any other — a bold fusion of classic design, western artistry, and modern engineering.
Price does not include applicable tax, title, license, processing, and/or $240 documentation fees.
