Pontiac Streamliner 4 sedan '47 1947
General description :
The Pontiac Streamliner is a full-size car that was produced from 1942 to 1951. Streamliners used the larger B-body (by Chrysler) and, except for the station wagons, used fastback styling. The 1941 Super models with folding center armrest were known as Chieftains in 1942. All Pontiacs looked lower, heavier and wider. In 1947 the "Silver Streak" styling theme was continued, now with five bands of chrome on hoods. All Pontiacs had new grilles with four broad gently bowed horizontal bars. Hoods and fenders were protected by an inverted steer's horn shaped bar incorporating a die cast plate with indianhead relief. Interiors for sedans and coupes were redesigned with Berwicke beige panels for dashboard and windows. Windshield, door and garnish moldings were finished in Autumn Brown. All coupes and sedans were fastbacks with full-loop around window moldings.
