I thought you might like a look at this very original 1950 Pontiac Silver Streak 8 Sedan. It's sure looking sharp with all that chrome over top of that mean looking black paint. I believe it's still powered by the original flathead 268 cubic inch Straight eight engine as well. I hope you find it interesting...thanks for checking it out!

    @805ROADKING Well, I'm sure glad this one has escaped the junkyard. It's one of the better looking 4 doors that I've seen. Thanks for checking it out!

    Great styling throughout car from the heavily chromed tasteful front end to the inconspicuous rear doors to the rear with those nice circular tail lights. Well styled inviting instrument panel also.

    Dad had one when I was a kid. What a DAWG! The old Kaiser we had before the Pontiac was more powerful with its Continental flathead 6 and overdrive.

    That is a nicely polished rough car! The front seat was a slip over seat cover, the give away is the view in the rear door, the ashtray and passenger assist handle across the back of the front seat were visible as bumps under the seat slip cover. Plus a bungee cord holding in the battery! Plus a flat tire on the vehicle next to it! What a shoddy place!

    Beautiful example here! I love it in black, very sleek. Just bought a 52 Pontiac Chieftain for $9,000, she’s complete but in rough unrestored shape. Original Pontiac mayflower blue paint. Been fighting with the big Straight-8 under the hood, it runs but I can’t get it just right. It’s in need of a rebuild but it will be great. Thanks for the video

    It is not an automatic transmission car, it is a manual/stick shift transmission car. At 2:06 and for a few seconds thereafter you can clearly see a clutch pedal, brake pedal, and accelerator/throttle pedal.

    Anyone notice that it’s listed as an "automatic" but it has a clutch pedal and a manual shifter? I drove an automatic 1950 Pontiac for years, and it had a shift indicator above the steering shaft. This one doesn’t, so it is either has an after-market auto transmission or is really a 3-speed manual.
