Classic Car Marketing, Inc. Southern California’s premier marketing company is pleased to introduce this new listing offered for sale by one of our clients.
The National Woodie club has only twelve 1947 Pontiacs listed in their directory including this car. Very rare indeed! This 1947 Pontiac Woodie was purchased in May 2006. Owner history is limited but the car was stored in 1981 and had not been driven since then. The decision was made to do a Restoration - Modernization and not try to bring it back to original condition.
Glasurit paint covers the body in the original color of Parma Wine Metallic, now mixed with
25% red pearl for that extra touch of glam. Master wood crafter Ron Heiden of Heiden’s Woodworking in Vista, Ca. hand crafted all new wood for the car over an 18 month period. Ash frames and ribbon mahogany plywood side panels surround. Over 10 coats of varnish are on the wood.
