1926 Pontiac Series 6-27 Coach

The Pontiac 6-27 Model 6650 was powered by a six-cylinder engine with a split L-head design, displaced 186.5 cubic-inches and produced 40 horsepower.

This two-door Sedan was built during early May 1926. It was acquired in 1931 by Minnesota-based Oakland-Pontiac dealer Leland Holm for $200 and displayed it in his showroom for much of the following 60 years. The car remains in original condition and shows only minor surface rust. It has had only one exterior refinish under Mr. Holm's ownership. The current owner acquired it with just 13,000 miles and has since traveled just 2,500 miles. It took a local Best of Show and earned a second in class at the 2002 POCI National Convention. This vehicle may be the oldest Pontiac in existence.

This car has many factory-original features such as a roll-up windshield and a trip odometer, as well as a unique distributor.

In 2010, the car was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Hershey auction presented by RM Auctions. It was estimated to sell for $20,000-$30,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $17,600 including buyer's premium.
