The 1946-1948 Pontiacs were very similar to the 1942 model introduced before Pontiac, like most other automobile companies, focused their attention on the war effort.
The 1948 Pontiac was a dependable, value-packed, affordable car. It gained a reputation of being a 'middle-of-the-road' car - popular with middle class, middle-aged buyers and in the middle price range. The new styling features of the Torpedo convertible included triple 'Silver Streaks', round taillights, a horizontal grille with vertical shafts, Colonial grain or imitation leather and lacquered instrument boards that matched the exterior color.
The hood was accented with the words 'Silver Streak' with an '8' placed in the middle of them, representing the 104 horsepower, 249 cubic-inch eight-cylinder power plant. Price of the 1948 Pontiac Torpedo convertible was $2,000.
