HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE...the famed Art Deco period began in the 1920s and continued strongly through the 1930s and early 1940s. After the war, the Art Deco era designs began to fade rapidly from new products and architectural design. Today, Art Deco design is highly prized and it was never more dynamic than in the automotive industry.
Few 1940 Pontiacs survived, and that is a shame because their "Silver Streak" design elements distinguished the marque from anything else on the road. That this car can be enjoyed on modern roads - in comfort in all weather - makes owning this rolling sculpture a rare privilege. It's impossible to drive the car more than a few miles without getting admiring glances and many "thumbs up" from all who see it.
LOCATION: Winder, GA...approximately Carrollton, GA is approx. 50 northeast of Atlanta, GA.

GENERAL OVERVIEW & DETAILS...the owner had a high-end Chevy show car that wasn't a lot of fun (like many elaborately restored cars) because once he got home from showing it, he had many hours of "detailing" ahead of him to carefully remove all bugs from the front-end, etc. So, the restoration objective behind the Pontiac's restoration was to have very nice brightwork and interior - with modern drivetrain and AC Climate Control - but with a carefree satin black exterior finish. Therefore, some small paint imperfections in the satin finish were deemed consistent with the objective to have a classic to enjoy and not fuss excessively over.

EXCELLENT INVESTMENT - now over 70 years old, cars of the 1940s are all but gone. These are the important cars that "bridged" the gap between the comparatively crude engineering of 1930s cars and the streamlined 1950s cars to follow the war.

IMPORTANT IMAGE NOTES...to fully illustrate this impressive 1940 Pontiac, there are over 100 images. The first 19 photos are intended to give a quick overall presentation of the car from a variety of vantage points. Then, there are specific sets of images (for serious buyers) that show great detail in these areas: Interior, Exterior, Engine Compartment, Trunk, and Undercarriage

Seasoned collectors and enthusiasts know that to really "know" a car, a close-up look all around is a must.

PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING...TO SEE ALL THE IMAGES: There are over 100 images that will show the car in great detail. BUT, to see ALL of the images, you MUST place your cursor DIRECTLY ON an image...and then scroll gently ALL the way to the bottom (be sure to allow time for all the images to load). CAUTION: If you use the scroll bar to the FAR right of your screen - OR, the "" feature - you will NOT be able to see all the images!
Over 2,700 TRANSACTIONS WITH HAPPY PEOPLE! As of the date of this listing, we've had over 2,700 transactions (both Buying AND Selling) on eBay without a single complaint - with classic car buyers from all over the world. One of the keys to our success is to show LARGER and MORE images than almost any other eBay listing...so you can CLEARLY see what you are getting. We also give a very detailed description of the car...not just a couple sentences like many listings.

INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS are welcome, but MUST adhere to the SAME Payment Terms detailed above and also make all arrangements for the pick-up and importation of the Vehicle into the Buyer's country.

ABOUT ME: I am an avid Classic Car enthusiast. After retiring from 30 years of Sales & Marketing in a Global 100 company, I began buying and selling Classic Cars and Collectibles as a collector and for friends and clients. This 1940 classic belongs to a fellow classic car enthusiast.
IMPORTANT FINAL REMARKS, CONDITION OF SALE, and MODEL YEAR DETAILS...the Buyer will receive a Notarized Bill of Sale, the current Georgia Registration document, and a Pennsylvania title issued to a prior owner in 1984.

NOTE: Georgia does not issue titles for vehicles built prior to 1962, the Registration Document serves as the ownership document. Georgia also generally follows the previous titling details of a vehicle. Some experts feel that this MIGHT be a 1941 model (rather than 1940). Research with the state of Pennsylvania (where the car was originally titled 11-21-1940) revealed that it was once common practice in the state to title ANY new car as being the SAME model year as the year in which it was sold. Therefore, a November 1940 sale of what Pontiac considered to be a 1941 model, would be recorded on the Pennsylvania title as a 1940 model.

Though this Pontiac has been rebuilt/refinished/restored with care - it remains a 77 year-old automobile. The need for repairs and maintenance with any vehicle is an ongoing activity - often required without notice. Therefore, this sale is strictly on an as-is and final basis with no warranties or liabilities expressed or implied.

ODOMETER NOTE: The odometer was not re-set after the restoration. However, less than 3000 miles have been driven since the completion of the restoration. The actual mileage is impossible to know with accuracy, but is really irrelevant owing to the modernization of the car's drivetrain.

Every effort has been made to present this classic car completely and accurately to the best of our knowledge and resources, but errors and oversights are possible. Therefore, pre-purchase examination of the vehicle (if desired) is welcomed before the listing's end and can be easily arranged by appointment. All sales final.

Please be sure to review ALL the images and ALL the captions because they relate important information too!
