Stepping Out in a Silver Streak Six.(Escape Roads)
Byline: LINDA CLARK
Named after its home city and a colorful Indian chief, Pontiac was launched in 1926.
Embodying many features of pricier cars yet costing little more than the cheapest lines, Pontiac immediately won public favor and would become an upscale alternative to Ford, Chevy and Plymouth.
A Pontiac sales slogan of the day, "A Ten Minute Ride and You'll Decide,'' piqued our interest in this 1936 touring sedan owned by John Gunnell of Iola, Wisconsin. Pontiac sold 44,040 Deluxe Six models that year, including coupe, cabriolet and other sedan styles.
Gunnell bought the car at an Illinois auction in 1985. He replaced the tires, rebuilt the flathead-six and repaired the Dubonnet front suspension. Otherwise, the car is unrestored and shows 76,360 miles.
The roomy interior seats five, seven if six are kids. The bench seats, door panels and headliner have their original taupe woolen cloth upholstery.
Footrests, assist straps, ashtray, armrests and a privacy shade on the rear window add luxury to the back seat. Because of the cut of the rear doors, rear windows descend only halfway.
