Vehicle Description
This 1934 Pontiac 8 Sport Coupe has all the right classic car
features. There's swoopy fenders with a spare wheel mound on each
side, an iconic rumble seat rear, and even the long straight-eight
under the hood. So dig into all the details on pre-war rolling
elegance.
A Pontiac rumble seat coupe already had a premium distinction when
it was new, but over 85 years later and it becomes a true rare
treat. The maroon is a nice color to have on a sophisticated 1930s
machine, and it has a nice gloss everywhere you look - including
the added trunk on the back. But what really makes this one looks
so nice is the inclusion of the black. It goes well with the dark
tones of the maroon as it highlights features like the swoopy
fenders, crisp profile, and the covers of the fender-mounted spare
wheels. And there are even more great details, like the bright
waterfall grille, chief hood ornament, and the bright yellow wire
wheels with iconic whitewalls.
Inside is more of the beautifully restored '30s extravagance. The
gray cloth seat look nicely restored with a plush button-top
presentation. You have the large classic-style steering wheel with
Pontiac center cap, floor shifter, and full gauge package. So this
one delivers a terrific classic car experience. The roll down rear
window is a nice way to really get ventilation moving through this
coupe. Of course, that feature also helps you talk to anyone you
might have in the back, too. The rumble seat is finished in a
durable gray vinyl, so it makes for an ideal outside seat.
Under the butterfly hood is a correct 223 cubic-inch straight
eight. These long blocks are always great to draw a crowd. So it's
nice to see that they spent money restoring the motor without
losing the vintage feeling. That means a big green block, oil bath
air cleaner, and a classic generator. Best of all, this torquey
motor makes that proper 1930s sound going down the byways (you
know, the one where the single exhaust sounds like a winding
generator with a hint of throatiness.) You can handle around-town
driving without breaking a sweat thanks to the three-speed manual
transmission and four-wheel drum brakes.
The rumble seat coupe is a true rarity in modern times, and this
example runs strong enough that it will be great for everything
from Sunday drivers to the parade route. So if you're ready to
enjoy true classic motoring, call today!
