Vehicle Description
1948 Pontiac Silver Streak Deluxe Four-Door Sedan,
Stock #UKA21956
showing 42,350 miles.
Here`s one for the prewar-and-postwar crowd.
This is a Series 25 Torpedo on the 119-inch wheelbase, finished in black over a clean grey interior. The VIN decodes as a Fisher body number 19 four-door sedan in D-for-Deluxe trim, and the original paint and trim codes check out against the factory black. The block stamping reads P6PA 21956.
Power comes from the 239 cubic inch L-head flathead six, rated at 90 horsepower and known for smooth, durable running. It is paired with the Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic, which Pontiac offered for the first time in 1948 as a pricey option. The column quadrant reads N DR LR. On the road it cruises comfortably at 50 to 55 mph.
Deluxe equipment includes stainless rocker trim, belt molding, rear fender stone guards, chrome Silver Streak hood badges and fender script. Inside you get a wood grain dash, ivory steering wheel, Chief horn button, push-button radio with power antenna, clock, external sun visor, working heater and cowl vent. Wide whitewalls with redline caps finish it off. The ignition switch sits high on the firewall with a round black start button.
Notes: the vacuum-operated rear wiper is present but not moving and likely needs vacuum line work. The left fog lamp is dim, probably a bulb issue.
