Grille of this Pontiac is 1946 ,not 1947 ( 1947 grille had only 3 thick horizontal bars in it, 1946 grille had six thinner horizontal bars as here).At a first glance , judging from the rear end and because the 4 door Streamliner was not very popular in 1946 ,i'd go for a notchback " A" body Pontiac Torpedo 4 door sedan 1946 |

Pilou, you're right about the year. It's a 1946 Pontiac, as you said, there are too many horizontal lines for a 1947 grille. I should have look better. But I still think it's a Streamliner, and not a Torpedo. Correct me if I'm wrong, but on Torpedos, the 3 horizontal lines on each wing of the car were painted the same color of the body. Only Streamliners had them chromed. On this car, they appear to be chromed. -- Last edit: 2006-12-06 18:58:20 |

Yes, the three " Speedlines" on the fenders here appear chromed and I agree with you ,it makes it a Pontiac Streamliner series 26 or 28 ,1946.Well spotted ! |

1946 Pontiac Streamliner.It is impossible to be a Torpedo in the same moment. The foor door Torpedo had a trunk. All Streamliners had 122" inches wheelbase and a slooping back. -- Last edit: 2011-10-29 09:00:57 |
