1955 Pontiac Star Chief
The
Star Chief was a car built by
General Motors'
Pontiac division between 1954 and 1966.
Between 1954 and 1957, the
Star Chief was Pontiac's prestige model; the car was easily identified by its chrome star trim along its sides. When the storyline of
I Love Lucy pointed towards a
Hollywood
setting in the 1954-1955 season, the characters "drove" (in episode
110, "California Here We Come") to the West Coast in a 1955 Star Chief
convertible. In 1954, Pontiac also introduced air conditioning with all
the components under the hood, a first for the price range.
Seat belts were added as options in 1956.
