Vehicle Description
Bet you wish you'll be looking this good when you approach
90-years-old. This 1929 Pontiac gives you the opportunity to have a
unique sedan that will be one of the oldest classics you can drive
to the show...and look fantastic doing it!
Pontiac fans know the 1920s are very significant. Pontiac was
supposed to be the companion brand to Oakland, but they proved so
popular, that they became the main attraction. And a sedan like
this makes it instantly recognizable why they were so popular.
We're told the two-tone black and blue is a close representation to
the original color. And an older restoration means it has the kind
of lacquer gloss that will have many thinking it's original. Plus,
as people get closer, they'll marvel at the triple pinstripe setup
that highlights the curves of the fenders, door line, and roof.
Plus, even the derails are great with the dual bumpers, separate
rear trunk, color-matched wood wheels, and the Indian-head hood
ornament that announces this Pontiac is the true "Chief of the
Sixes."
Inside, the gray velour cloth on the two rows of plush seats
represents the era quite well. The tall greenhouse, roll-down
windows, and, plenty of legroom makes this Pontiac a pleasant place
to be. Driving is easy going with a conventional setup that
includes a floor-mounted three-speed. The gauge panel with readouts
for oil, fuel, power, and speed might not seem too special today,
but it was double what you got in a Ford Model A!
1929 is also a significant year, because the inline-six motor was
upgraded to 200 cubic-inches. So it's great to see the
period-correct powerplant under the hood today. This upgrade nearly
added 25% more horsepower over the previous year without losing the
smooth operation the inline motor was known for providing. The
engine bay looks refreshingly stock, but it carries a key upgrade
to a 12-volt electric system. That makes this easier to operate.
And the same goes for the three-speed manual transmission with
enough ratios to keep you moving, even if you're going uphill.
Complete with a service manual, this is a true piece of history
that makes you the most interesting person everywhere you go just
by arriving. Call today!!!
