PRICE REDUCED $12,000!! This is a gorgeous restored-as-needed 1948
Pontiac Silver Streak 8 Woodie Station Sedan that is in gorgeous
condition for concours or touring. With 58,000 miles from new and
lovingly restored as necessary, this is a fantastic example. It is
in overall high-point condition while having an interior that is in
excellent original condition today. This must be one of the nicest
examples of this rare woody in existence today. This was part of
our personal collection as it is such a pristine Woodie with
long-term loving owners. Unfortunately, space limitations
necessitate us selling it. The past owner was Dr. Sylvio Albert of
Oswego, NY. Dr. Albert bought the Woodie in May of 1993. He had
much of the restoration work performed to make it a high point AACA
contender, although he never showed it under his ownership. Dr.
Albert acquired the Woodie from James Grant of Dexter, Maine with
57,723 miles from new. James acquired it from his father, Kenneth
Grant also from Dexter. Kenneth acquired the Woodie on January 31,
1974 from its Southern California owner. The Woodie has its livery
finished in Parma Wine (Paint Code 4803) and the ash and mahogany
wood was refinished with five coats of varnish that was then hand
rubbed. The paint and wood are in show condition today and just
gorgeous. The quality of the original wood shows the incredible
workmanship that the Ypsilanti Furniture Company in Ionia, MI
invested in making these incredible Woodies. The quality of build
is far superior than Packard and other high-end manufacturers of
the time. The chrome and stainless have been replated or polished
as necessary and look beautiful. The top has also been redone and
is like new. The painted center medallions on the hub caps show
some age while the hub caps are excellent. The Woodie is
accessorized with fog lights and the white walled tires look new.
The interior is magical. The dash, steering wheel, upholstery and
rubber floor mats are all original and in beautiful condition. The
dash plastic and chrome are exceptional and nicer that any we've
ever seen. The rear seat was an option and was added by Dr. Albert
under his ownership. The instruments work well with the exception
of the fuel gauge and the clock. The condition and originality of
the interior speaks volumes as to the care this Woodie has received
through its life. The engine compartment and chassis are all
detailed for show and exhibit beautifully. The venerable 249 CID
straight eight engine produces 104 hp and runs well. The
three-speed manual transmission shifts well and easily, and 122"
wheelbase ensures that the ride is smooth. The Hagerty Value Guide
shows the 1948 Pontiac Station Wagon valued at $104,000 for a No. 1
example and $88,600 for a No. 2 example. We have this well priced.
