1949 Pontiac Convertible

This beautiful Pontiac was purchased with the intention of showing it this up-coming car show season, but it doesn't appear myself or my family will be showing this one as much as we would like.  Therefore, I would like to give someone else an opportunity to own this car great car.

Beautiful original color and a very rare model.  One great looking Pontiac!  This will be a great investment and a fun car for the next owner.  Car looks great and drives excellent.  Should win a trophy at some of your local shows ; )

 

Details/Features:

  • 249ci "Straight Eight" 8 Cylinder Engine
  • 3 Speed Manual Transmission 
  • Deluxe Original Radio
  • Bumper Guards
  • WWW tires
  • New Battery
  • Recent tune-up and oil change
  • One owner car from 1949-2008
  • 80,890 original miles

 

The engine idles very well, makes good power, and starts everytime. The transmission also shifts well. The car gets down the road and will flow with modern traffic effortlessly. The original 6 volt system is still in place and also works well. All gauges, lights, and accessories are in good working order (with the exception of the radio and clock).  The top goes up and down very easy, but it has to be done manually (power feature no longer functional).  Car doesn't run hot and has good oil pressure.  Brakes are very good and the car tracks straight down the road! 

This Pontiac is an UNRESTORED original car with one re-paint in 1971.  Lots of good original chrome, good body, etc.  The car looks very good as a whole from any respectable distance, but has flaws, chips, and scratches here or there due to age or driving.  The original upholstery looks very good for it's age as well.  Front seat was recovered, but all else is original.  Overall, it's a sharp looking and driving Pontiac and you'd be hard pressed to find another one like it!

I welcome inspections and appraisers. Shown by appointment.

Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit

Mon, 20 Jun 2011

Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.

Automakers tussle over owners of 'orphan' makes

Thu, 10 May 2012

When General Motors put down several of its brands in recent years, it also let loose thousands of brand-loyal customers who will eventually need another car.
R.L. Polk Associates estimates there are more than 18 million cars from 16 discontinued makes on the road today. Those "orphan owners" have sales-hungry competitors seeing dollar signs. GM is offering Saturn owners $1,000 cash toward a Chevy Cruze, Cadillac CTS or a GMC Acadia. Ford is giving its Mercury lease customers a chance to get out of their contracts with no early-termination penalty and offering to waive six remaining payments if they drive off in a Ford or Lincoln.
Edmunds.com research shows the efforts are paying off somewhat for GM, with 39 percent of Pontiac owners, 37 percent of Hummer owners and 31 percent of Saturn owners taking delivery of another GM-branded vehicle. But that leaves as much as 69 percent of owners going elsewhere. Ford, Honda and Toyota seem to be attracting many former GM owners.

2013 Hurst Edition Trans Am

Mon, 13 May 2013

No, you didn't read our title wrong. This is a 2013 model year Trans Am, and yes, that is a Pontiac logo affixed to the front of the car. But don't bother dialing up your local General Motors dealership just yet. This is the new Hurst Edition Trans Am created by the Trans Am Depot located in Tallahassee, FL. Having spent a number of years restoring early Trans Am models, the crew at Trans Am Depot finally did what many Pontiac enthusiasts wish GM would have done - create a modern Trans Am using the fifth-generation Chevrolet Camaro.
As the former owner of a 1977 model, I've been wanting to check out Trans Am Depot ever since I first saw the company have American Choppers build a trio of motorcycles inspired by its Pontiac remakes. So I jumped at the chance to head to Florida's capital city to visit the shop and drive its latest creation, the new Hurst Edition Trans Am. As a collaboration with Hurst, this car made its debut at the 2012 SEMA Show and then popped up again on our radar with a cheesy yet perfectly fitting video back in March.
