1947 Pontiac Streamliner Six Cylinder Standard Station Wagon

Automobile production in the US was halted during the Second World War; when it resumed in 1945, most marque's vehicles were basically 1942 designs and technology. Small updates were usually made, such as updates to the fenders, trim, and grille.

The Streamline Woodie Station Wagon was offered for the first time in the post War era, in 1947. It was available with either a six or eight-cylinder engine. The eight-cylinder was more popular and outsold the six. The Woodie Wagon was the most expensive of the body styles offered, which included a Convertible, Coupe and Sedan. The price to own the Woodie Wagon was $2,282.

This example is finished in green with a light brown colored interior. It has had some restoration and maintenance since new, but it is mostly original.

This 1947 Pontiac Streamline Woodie Wagon was offered for sale at the 2007 Monterey Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by RM Auctions, where it had an estimated value of $50,000 - $70,000. It left the auction under new ownership, having been sold for $58,300 including buyer's premium.
