Vehicle Description
This 1949 Pontiac Streamliner Silver Streak has a terrific classic
style. But beneath the vintage looks is upgraded V8 power, an
updated suspension, A/C interior, and more. It's a total package
built to make sure that enjoying rolling nostalgia doesn't mean
given giving up any comfort.
This slick Pontiac manages to be both sporty and formal at the same
time. That's the beauty of the fastback-style Streamliner's
profile. Plus, there are great details, like the fender skirts,
whitewall tires, and windshield sunshade. While the black paint is
factory-correct, there has been a more recent investment in a
quality respray. This helps highlight the body that has remained
amazingly straight for over seven decades. Black is also great to
show off the original chrome trim, including the namesake streaks
running along the hood and matching piece cascading down the deck
lid. There's also the intricate front grille, full side trim,
correct wheel covers, and wraparound chrome bumpers. Those who know
Pontiacs will be especially happy to see that the amber Indian head
hood ornament still lights up at night to help lead the way.
The black returns inside, and now it's joined by plenty of red. The
vibrant color is tastefully combined with the pattern on the seats
and coordinating door panels. The red floor mats, rear strap, and
front seat piping are all part of a thoughtful package. The dash
has that absolutely classic cool look with details, like the bright
speaker in the middle and the vintage numbering on the speedometer.
But the closer you look, the more you'll spot well-integrated
upgrades. There's cold-blowing R134a air conditioning, power front
windows, and provisions for an AM/FM/CD stereo hidden away in the
glovebox. The banjo-style steering wheel's design fits in with this
classic era, but it's a sporty smaller diameter unit. It's mounted
on a tilt column for added comfort and so you can get a good view
of the upgraded Dolphin gauges.
The interior shows off a comfortable cruiser attitude, and that's
reaffirmed by what's under the hood. This has been upgraded to a
powerful and hardy small block V8. This 350 cubic-inch motor looks
nice with a tidy presentation and polished components. It also has
all the right pieces you want, like an electric choke,
steel-braided hoses, and an electronic ignition. This V8 fires up
readily as it inhales deeply with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor. And the way it runs nicely just lets you know that this
one is ready to hit the road. That's also why you have upgrades
like a smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission, an
upgraded Mustang II-style front end with tubular arms, power brakes
w/discs up front, and rack & pinion power steering.
Complete with the classic owner's manual, this Pontiac has an
iconic vintage look on the outside, and all the comforts you want
within. It's a thoughtful classic that's absolutely irresistible.
