1948 Pontiac Streamliner Very Nice Car
1948 Pontiac Other Description
Nice 1948 Pontiac Streamliner, Straight 8 engine with 3 speed on the column ( 3 on the tree). One of the reasons I went with a Pontiac instead of Chevrolet of the era is that I wanted the big straight 8 cylinder engine (also I think a bit fancier car). I have had the car almost 5 years and we have enjoyed it very much. We have purchased a RV and have been spending our time camping so the Pontiac has not been getting used like it should.
Since I purchased it the car has had the following items done to it:
- New Radiator Core Seats Recovered (Kanter Auto)
- New headliner (Kanter Auto)
- New Carpeting (Kanter Auto)
- Car was Repainted
- Rebuilt Water Pump
- Pointless Ignition System (Pertronix)
- New Coil (Pertronix)
- Modern Stereo Installed Under Dash
- Valve Lash Set Front
- Fog Light Set New old Stock ( I wire these for front turn signals which are not available factory to my knowledge)
- Will Come with the books
The car also has-
- Good White Wall Tires
- All gauges work ( sometimes the speedometer and fuel gauge take about a mile to begin working, but I have checked it with a gps at 60mph and is quite accurate)
- Brakes work well ( I have never tried the parking brake)
- Car starts and runs well
- Body is solid
- Great Appearance ( Lots of Chrome)
- Factory Stainless Rock guards on rear fenders
- Front working vacuum wipers
- Deluxe Factory Radio ( Larger Chrome Grill)
- Sunvisor ( Another reason I bought this car)
We have had a ton of fun with this car going out to eat with other couples or taking it for a ride out to the lake. Always have gotten lots of complements. This is a nice car and I have no reserve on this auction; it will sell.
