1931 Pontiac Series 401 Sedan

Description

Bet you wish you'll be looking this good when you pass 90 years old. This 1931 Pontiac gives you the opportunity to have a unique sedan that will be one of the oldest classics you can drive to the show...and look fantastic doing it!

Pontiac fans know 1931 is very significant. Pontiac was supposed to be the companion brand to Oakland, but they proved so popular that they became the main attraction. Oakland was discontinued in 1931 and Pontiac lived on for nearly 80 more years. And a sedan like this makes it instantly recognizable why they were so popular. The black and blue is a glossy two-tone that knows how to get your nostalgia flowing. Quality is the buzzword on this one. You see it everywhere from the way the suicide doors line up to the bright Indian-head hood ornament that announces this Pontiac is the true "Chief of the Sixes." Plus, even the details are great with the vinyl roof, step plates, a spotlight, wire wheel, and whitewall tires - including the spare wheels mounted in each fender. It's such a beautifully and classically presented car that this (literally) has a trunk full of nostalgia that comes with the sale!

Inside, the gray velour cloth on the two rows of plush seats represents the era quite well. The tall greenhouse, roll-down windows, and plenty of legroom make this Pontiac a pleasant place to be. Driving is easy-going with a conventional setup that includes a floor-mounted three-speed. The gauge panel with readouts for oil, fuel, power, and speed might not seem too special today, but it was double what you got in a Ford Model A! There are even some cool period-correct additions like a chassis lubrication reminder and temp/clock readout over the windshield. It makes for an overall impression of a car that likes to be vintage and likes to be driven.

Under the hood is the 200 cubic-inch inline-six. It's such a tidy presentation that it will be easy to point out pieces that show this is a year-correct block. And while this is quite honest and vintage, it fires up with the ease and eagerness that would make cars half its age jealous. The inherent smoothness of the inline motor and the nice ratios of the three-speed manual transmission means this 1930 classic is a surprisingly satisfying cruiser.

This is a true piece of history that makes you the most interesting person everywhere you go just by arriving. Call today!!!
