1947 Pontiac Streamliner

Pontiac, like most automobile manufacturers, returned to civilian production in the immediate post-war era using names, engineering, and mildly updated styling of its pre-war products. For Pontiac, this included a range of six- and eight-cylinder models that had a reputation for their reliability, durability, and value.

The 1947 Pontiac lineup included the streamlined Torpedo available with either six- or eight-cylinder power, and the streamliner series powered by the same engines. 101,940 examples of the Torpedo's and 128,660 of the Streamliner's were produced in 1947. The Torpedo's had a 119-inch wheelbase and a length of 204.5 inches, while the Streamliner had a 122-inch wheelbase platform and measured 210.25-inches for the passenger cars and slightly more than 215-inches for the wagons. Along with the Standard and Deluxe Streamliner station wagons, other body styles included a two-door sedan coupe and four-door sedan. Prices ranged from $1,360 to $2,070 for the six-cylinder Streamliners, and $1,400 to $2,110 for the eight-cylinder versions.

The 1947 Pontiac Streamliner had nearly identical styling to the 1946 models, complete with a 'Silver Streak' straight-back Indian head hood ornament, chrome beltline moldings, wraparound bumpers, and front fender crown moldings. Minor styling updates were applied to the bell-shaped grille and trim, and the coupes and sedans received redesigns interiors with Berwick beige panels for dashboard and windows.

Between 1946 and 1948, the Ionia Body Co. of Ionia, Michigan created 18,791 wagon bodies for the Pontiac. 1948 was the last year a full wood-body Pontiac station wagon was offered.
