1938 Pontiac Series 28 Deluxe

The Pontiac line for 1938 carried over all of the highly successful '37 models, with a styling facelift. The grille reflected a bold appearance due to 14, equally spaced, straight horizontal bars. The Silver Streaks were comprised of 9 lines that split the grille and ran along the center of the hood toward the windshield, than resumed on the deck lid. The rear Silver Streaks were standard on all closed models for 1938. The numeral 6 or 8 was carried just above the front bumper at the base of the Silver Streak. Both Six and Eight featured an Indian Head centered on the front bumper; but only on the Eight was it flanked by a vertically ribbed trim plate. Six cylinder models had 10 louvers on either side of the hood, complete with bright horizontal trim top and bottom; plus the Pontiac name appearing just behind the grille openings. The Eight cylinder models had 12 louvers, with bright horizontal trim running top, bottom and right across the center of the louvers. The Pontiac name did not appear on either side of the hood. The parking lamps on the Eights were molded into the top of the headlamp buckets The Indian Head hood ornament on the Eight carried a tall “head dress” as compared to the low profile Indian Head on the Six.

Offered here is a great running Series 28 Deluxe 4dr for your consideration. Remaining pre-war automobiles that retain their stock appearance both inside and outside are few and far between. This large vehicle could tell stories that any historian would love to listen to. Powered by a 248ci 8cyl and plenty of room for passengers and luggage this is a really cool old car. The originality of this sedan is impressive with what appears to be; original headliner, windshield, dash, gauges, cloth seats, many pieces of trim and hardware, wheels and hood ornament. The chrome bumpers are in great shape and the engine bay is nice and tidy. Large white wall tires, deluxe heater/defroster, tenite shift knob, radio and steering wheel were all options. Previous owner states that the miles are original and that he was the 3rd owner of the vehicle. The feel, smell and looks of this car cannot be duplicated nor replicated. This car will provide the next owner with enjoyment and also plenty of fun times ahead. You can enjoy the car the way it sits now or take on some projects and continue to make it nicer. Either way it is history in full view and one that many will enjoy and appreciate.

Market guides and other vehicles are priced well above this asking price. This is a smart buy and one that will only go up in value as the years go by.
