1948 Pontiac Silver Streak Deluxe Streamliner Straight 8 WOW WOW WOW ! Rare ,
Cool & mostly Original ! A true 40's dream ride...this stylish Pontiac is
really something cool. The Pontiac was treated to a restoration some 25 – 30
years ago, where it underwent a engine and transmission rebuild, and exterior
repaint in the original colour, having rarely been driven since the car remained
in a climate controlled garaged for some 19 years by its previous owner who also
undertook a full brake rebuild 2 years ago ! Garaged and pampered in its current
home, the car remains in wonderful condition. Some would say a time capsule
car… 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. Unmolested she still
has the original 6 volt electrics. This car features the original 4 speed
automatic trans...yes 4 speed! (this was the first year GM offered this!). The
interior is still original from 1948 and is in spectacular condition! Wood grain
Dash and window surrounds Original chrome still shines bright The design details
on the car are really fantastic. 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 with some patina. There are a few flaws here
and there but at 66 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 fender skirts, rear wiper (factory option in 48),
reverse lights and accessory bumper trims.. She is loaded! The interior features
the original door panels and headliner. 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. Is CURRENTLY REGISTERED ON CLUB REGISTRATION IN QLD and
