Vehicle Description
Bet you wish you'll be looking this good when you pass 90 years
old. This 1931 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 1931 is very significant. Pontiac was supposed to
be the companion brand to Oakland, but they proved so popular that
they became the main attraction. Oakland was discontinued in 1931
and Pontiac lived on for nearly 80 more years. And a sedan like
this makes it instantly recognizable why they were so popular. The
black and blue is a glossy two-tone that knows how to get your
nostalgia flowing. Quality is the buzzword on this one. You see it
everywhere from the way the suicide doors line up to the bright
Indian-head hood ornament that announces this Pontiac is the true
"Chief of the Sixes." Plus, even the details are great with the
vinyl roof, step plates, a spotlight, wire wheel, and whitewall
tires - including the spare wheels mounted in each fender. It's
such a beautifully and classically presented car that this
(literally) has a trunk full of nostalgia that comes with the
sale!
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 make 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! There are even
some cool period-correct additions like a chassis lubrication
reminder and temp/clock readout over the windshield. It makes for
an overall impression of a car that likes to be vintage and likes
to be driven.
Under the hood is the 200 cubic-inch inline-six. It's such a tidy
presentation that it will be easy to point out pieces that show
this is a year-correct block. And while this is quite honest and
vintage, it fires up with the ease and eagerness that would make
cars half its age jealous. The inherent smoothness of the inline
motor and the nice ratios of the three-speed manual transmission
means this 1930 classic is a surprisingly satisfying cruiser.
This is a true piece of history that makes you the most interesting
person everywhere you go just by arriving. Call today!!!
