I have a co-worker who from time to time has mentioned his Pontiac project and we’ve ‘bench restored’ a few times. But I’d never actually saw this car , nearly a picture. But thanks to our first real rain here in Southern AZ since last year I think, and the fact that we don’t do our monsoon season any other way than “harsh” my co-worker’s (we’ll call him ‘Mike’…’cause that’s actually his name) neighbor had a tree that suffered enough wind damage it and to be taken down. So Mike had to move the car, parked it behind his daily driver. Got up this morning and decied..heck, I’ll drive it to work.
And that’s how I got the pic of the 1949 Pontiac Silver Streak Delivery Van, all original and get this…..his family is the only owner the beauty every had. His grand father purchased it new. More to come on this one but here are some pics.

Thanks for reading.

I enjoyed reading about the old panel wagon. It did a great job taking us to Hermosillo, Mexico back in the ’80’s.

Thanks Beth. One day I may find one to restore. Mike won’t part with it
enjoyed this as usual. thanks tim
I’ll assume this came with a straight 8 motor and ‘HydroGlide’ 2 speed auto trans?
How is the seat cover’s coming along???
No sir, stovebolt, flat head 6 under that hood.
That’s great and should NOT ever be restored. It is fantastic as it is.
