Name Ideas for a Pontiac gasser??
I just bought a 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Catalina, and I want to turn it into a gasser. I always loved the cool names on old school gassers and want one for my car too!
I want some feedback about my ideas, and other peoples' ideas for a Pontiac related name! My ideas so far: Star Chief's Curse (my top name as of now, see the AI Generated photo below of it on the car with blue paint) Tonto (a very close second for the name, I loved watching Lone Ranger with my grandpa) War Chief Indian Outlaw Chief's Curse |

For the history buffs, I would name the car : "Bloody Fast"...
Here's why. Pontiac who was from the Ottawa tribe, was quite the warrior himself, on July 31st 1763 the Brits planned an ambush on Pontiac's settlement, he got along with the french settlers and they told him that they had seen the British troops preparing nearby. So Pontiac was in ready mode when the Brits attacked his settlement. No need to tell ya that Pontiac and his warriors turned the British troops into ground meat. It was said that the water of the small river running through the area had turned red momentarily. In history books it's remembered as "The Battle of Bloody Run" Its funny that my house was 3 years old already when that happened... Peter |

Being a Star Chief I would probably try to blend a sci fi term with a native object.
The Astral Arrow or something like that.

For some reason I always thought “Cheyenne Autumn “would be cool.
But , if it was my car “Trail of Tears “would probably be more appropriate. ��*♂️ |

You need the old school text kind of jumbled around. Height and angles., and I’d call it
WAR‘N CHIEF

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
