Vehicle Description

Tri-Power Pontiac 389 V8-Powered 1938 Pontiac Deluxe Coupe Restomod with IFS

Description: This 1938 Pontiac Deluxe Coupe is a beautifully engineered, thoughtfully constructed restomod that keeps pure Pontiac DNA at its core. Rather than a generic powertrain swap, this "Silver Streak" coupe is powered by a legendary Pontiac 389 ci V8 equipped with an iconic Tri-Power triple-carburetor induction system. Paired with an updated Independent Front Suspension (IFS) and modern climate control, this rare split rear-window coupe delivers a perfect blend of pre-war Art Deco elegance and vintage mid-century muscle car performance.

  • Engine: Pontiac 389 cubic-inch V8, fully detailed with a period-correct teal block/heads and a polished, finned aluminum valve cover.
  • Induction: Authentic Tri-Power setup featuring three two-barrel carburetors capped with polished, finned aluminum air cleaners and custom hard fuel lines.
  • Suspension: Upgraded Independent Front Suspension (IFS) for modern handling, precise steering track, and a significantly improved ride quality.
  • Cooling & Electrical: High-efficiency cooling system with a heavy-duty electric fan and an upgraded high-output modern alternator.
  • Climate Control: Modern Air Conditioning with an engine-mounted compressor seamlessly integrated into the engine bay.

Interior & Cabin Amenities:

  • Seating & Trim: Professionally tailored tan leather-texture bench seat with matching custom door panels, complete with lower map pockets and pristine chrome window cranks and handles.
  • Dash & Layout: High-gloss, color-matched dark blue steel dashboard holding the original horizontal sweeping gauge cluster. Supplemented by three under-dash auxiliary gauges (Oil, Volts, Water Temp) and integrated A/C vents.
  • Controls: Custom banjo-style steering wheel with a hand-stitched tan wrap, a column-mounted "38" brodie knob, a floor-mounted shifter with a tan boot, and a custom floor console with dual cup holders.

Body & Exterior Details:

  • Styling: Highly desirable split rear-window coupe configuration featuring laser-straight body panels wrapped in deep, dark blue metallic paint.
  • Brightwork: Show-quality chrome accents, including the signature "Silver Streak" trim lines running down the center of the hood and the rear trunk deck lid.
  • Front End: Pristine multi-bar chrome grille shell, original-style streamlined headlamp buckets, a front bumper with a red Pontiac center medallion, and the iconic illuminated amber Chief Pontiac hood ornament.
