For Sale: 1938 Pontiac Deluxe Eight in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is proud to present this 1938 Pontiac Coupe. Presenting a truly remarkable motorcar, this 1938 Pontiac 5-Window Business Coupe stands as a shining testament to craftsmanship, ingenuity, and modern motoring blended with the style and dignity of a bygone era. This handsome coupe has been carefully improved with contemporary power, refined comforts, and dependable road manners, all while preserving the noble presence that made Pontiac a trusted name on American highways.The striking two-tone finish of orange and deep root beer brown gives this automobile an appearance worthy of any Main Street parade. Its sweeping curves gleam beneath a smooth clearcoat, reflecting the quality of a restoration completed only a few hundred miles ago. Pontiac's famed silver streak proudly leads the way up front, and the classic rear bumper and taillights remind onlookers of a time when automobiles were styled with purpose. Yet, woven quietly into the bodywork are the conveniences of the modern age, such as discreet windshield spray nozzles, proximity sensors, and even a backup camera, all harmoniously integrated so as not to disturb the stately character of this pre-war machine.Step inside and you will find the same thoughtful consideration awaiting you. The cabin greets its passengers with illuminated door panels and a custom Pontiac emblem, setting the tone for the care given to every detail. Luxurious ultraleather seating, fashioned in a complementary two-tone arrangement, provides comfort far beyond what the motoring public enjoyed in the thirties. The front seats are of the modern bucket variety, complete with individual armrests, integrated three-point harnesses, and even seat warmers for those crisp morning drives. The dashboard carries the exterior color theme and is fitted with conveniences seldom seen even in the finest cars of the day: cold-blowing air conditioning, power locks, a modern wireless-compatible radio with a screen that rises to reveal the rear camera, and handsome Dolphin gauges that keep the driver well informed. A wood-and-chrome wheel atop a tilt column completes the inviting interior.Beneath the butterfly hood lies the heart of this impressive machine: a lively Chevrolet 350-cubic-inch V8, well known across the country for its reliability and spirited performance. Equipped with a Holley carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and dual glasspack exhaust, it produces the sort of smooth, confident power that would have been nothing short of futuristic in 1938. Supporting equipment includes an MSD ignition system, Taylor wiring, and an aluminum radiator with electric fan to ensure calm, cool operation. A modern four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive provides effortless cruising, while a remote converter lock-up feature allows the motor to hum efficiently on longer journeys. The suspension has been improved with tubular A-arms in front, and with power steering and four-wheel disc brakes, this Pontiac handles the road with poise and assurance.In every respect, this superbly crafted Business Coupe represents the union of yesterday's elegance and today's advancements. Beautifully restored, tastefully modernized, and ready for the open road, it stands prepared to delight its next caretaker. A motorcar of this caliber will not linger-make your inquiry today.
