The 1938 Pontiac 'Humpback' is a striking model. It was part of a
greater effort by Pontiac to solidify itself as a strong competitor
in the mid-range car market. The term humpback refers to the
unique, curved rear trunk that set the car apart from other
vehicles of the era. The sedan featured flowing lines, an upright,
grille-heavy front and round sweeping fenders that gave it a
streamlined look.
Full 'All-Steel' Street Rod Restoration-
This all-steel 1938 Pontiac has been the beneficiary of a street
rod restoration with mechanical upgrades. The body was resprayed
'Rally Red'. The finish is in overall good condition, but does show
some minor imperfections. All chrome is in very good condition and
work has been done to 'french' rear Cadillac taillights. New 15"
American Racing alloys that mount Atlas performance radials
complete the exterior. The interior has been upgraded with
late-model power-assist bucket seats and handsome tan vinyl
upholstery. It is fitted with plush carpets, smartly designed door
cards with billet handles and a tweed cloth headliner. A custom
dash holds VDO analog gauges and a SONY AM/FM/CD/AUX sound system.
Convenience features include air conditioning/heater/defrost, tilt
wheel and tinted windows.
Chevy Small-Block Power-
Horsepower is provided by a 350ci Chevy small-block that is fitted
with an aluminum intake, 4V carburetor, HEI ignition, tube headers
and an HD radiator with electric fan. It is backed by a 3-speed
TH350 automatic transmission that furnishes torque to a
differential with street gearing. The chassis mounts a Mustang II
front end with power rack/pinion steering and brakes are power
disc/drum units. Rear suspension is traditional leaf springs and a
custom Flowmaster exhaust system has been added.
The current owner is ready to pass this rare street rod on to its
next holder. Come in and inspect this Pontiac Humpback - you will
