Aptly named, just look at this fine maroon 1946 Pontiac Streamliner Sedan from Manorville, New York! It’s not hard to see why Pontiac named it the Streamliner, especially with those swooping, aero-inspired rear design aspects. Introduced in 1942, the Streamliner was aimed at offering dependable motoring in the full-size segment, for the emerging middle class. Pontiac were getting ready for the end of World War II and the resultant economic uptick, and they jumped on the bandwagon quite early. Hence, the car sold quite well, but few survived as you’d expect from something that’s eighty years old. This 108,000-mile example is thus a great vintage car to add to your collection, or start a collection with. It’s got a tan interior, a 239ci straight six and a 3-speed manual box to get things moving.
Exterior and Interior
Painted in maroon, this 1946 Pontiac Streamliner Sedan sports chrome front and rear bumpers, as well as steel wheels with Pontiac hubcaps. The car’s design is definitely the biggest talking point, and might even be referred to as sporty. While the front is typical Forties fare with a bulbous nose, circular headlamps and a chromed grille, as we move our attention towards the side profile, the dramatic, aerodynamic, streamlined shape of the car becomes apparent. When most Forties cars had equally bulbous rears with defined trunks, this car’s rear design seamlessly flows. It’s indeed something to behold, and before we venture aboard, let’s also take a moment to appreciate the split windshield up front. And no, it doesn’t affect visibility as much as you’d think. The tan cloth interior of this 1946 Pontiac Streamliner Sedan does show some wear here and there, but that’s to be expected from an eight-decade survivor. It’s got bench seating at the front as well as rear. The dashboard looks superb for its age, as do the gauges, as well as the controls for the car’s heater and defroster.
Engine
A 239ci straight six moves this 1946 Pontiac Streamliner Sedan. It’s got a single barrel carburetor and was rated at a reported 93hp and 178lb-ft. It drives the rear wheels through a column-shifted 3-speed manual gearbox.
