1948 Pontiac Silver Streak Deluxe Streamliner 8

WOW WOW WOW !

Rare . Cool & mostly Original

A true 40's dream ride. this stylish Pontiac is really something cool.
The car that spent it's whole life up until recently in sunny Southern California.
Sold new in Pasadena and there in the LA/ Orange County area up until summer of 2011.

Garaged and pampered in its current home. the car remains in wonderful condition.
It has been repainted just once in the original colour and is loaded with rare original accessories.

Original dash and instrumentation is all in great shape
Fantastic steering wheel!
Even the radio is a work of art!
The car has its original flat head straight 8 engine that runs very well.
The radiator was recently redone. the car has been converted to 12 volt electrics.
This car features the original 4 speed automatic trans. yes 4 speed!
(this was the first year GM offered this!)
New wheel cylinders. brake lines and brake shoes. front end completely rebuilt. it is a reliable runner and driver.

Phenomenal pile of original documents and paperwork from back to day one!!

The owners manual is in great shape.
Original service policy paperwork.

The original order on the dealer letterhead!!

First owner.

Check out the list of ordered options!!
Loaded!! There is a gas receipt showing the second owner. located in the city of Orange.
Having a car like this with all the history is very rare.
As a result of the dry climate of So Cal. the car remains very very solid and rust free.

Original chrome still shines bright

The design details on the car are really fantastic.

One modern upgrade to the car is the installation of an air ride system to allow it to cruise low and slow. This is a professionally installed set up by a Custom shop in Miami and it works very well.

The Pontiac being an open driveline in this year and model. makes such a modification easy. unlike the torque tube Chevy of the same era.

It would not take much to return it to stock if desired. but it just looks so amazing down low.

Such a great design. so long and so smooth and the chrome and accessories really make it stand out.

The paint is an older respray but it has shined up very well.
There are a few flaws here and there but at 65 years young it still shows very well and has a nice aire of originality to it.

The chrome looks very good as well. especially for being original.

Check out the rear window blinds. fender skirts. rear wiper. reverse lights and accessory bumper trims.
She is loaded!

The interior features the original door panels and headliner.
The seat upholstery looks to have been redone on the seating surface at some point as has the carpet.

The dash is all original and looks very nice.
Some water staining on the original material on the panels. but for being as old as it is. it is pretty nice.

New door and trunk seals and other assorted rubber bits.
A Fulton visor for the front comes with it as well.

Great car with a great history. well preserved. recently gone through to make it fully operational and reliable and it is ready to cruise.

It is not a fresh restoration show car. but a very clean and honest original example
of a quite rare model with a long list of rare original accessories.
You want to have a ride that stands out in the sea of Fords and Chevy. this is an excellent choice.
