This 1950 Pontiac Chieftain Silver Streak four-door sedan underwent a $25,000 restoration 15-20 years ago in Washington state and features a straight body, bright chrome and stainless-steel accents, and a refurbished interior. Under the hood resides a 268ci straight-8 paired with a 4-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission, sending power to the pavement via newer wide-whitewall tires. Finished in two-tone olive green and metallic dark green metallic over a gray cloth interior, this first-generation Chieftain is now offered by the selling dealer with a clear Pennsylvania title.
The Chieftain full-size model debuted in 1949 on the General Motors A-body platform as a coupe, sedan, convertible, and station wagon. This Chieftain four-door sedan from 1950 was repainted in two-tone with an olive green body and metallic dark green roof. The windshield is shaded by a color-matched windshield visor, and surrounding brightwork is reported to be in good condition and free of corrosion. This includes the bumpers, moldings, grille, headlight surrounds, and gravel guards.
Steel 15-inch wheels wear polished Pontiac-branded covers and are wrapped in wide-whitewall tires.
The dual-bench interior has been reupholstered in gray cloth and features color-keyed door panels and carpeting. Options include a push-button AM radio and an analog clock within the dash-mounted speaker.
Instrumentation surrounding the 100-mph speedometer consists of gauges for the fuel level, coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads approximately 33K miles, though true chassis mileage is unknown.
The 268ci L-head straight-8 was rated at 103 horsepower and is said to run and drive well. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a column-shifted 4-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission.

@hillnvalley – The muffler looks rough, how is the rest of the exhaust? ...
The muffler has some surface rust but is in good order. The exhaust is in good shape as you can hear from the video of it running
