1936 Pontiac Delux Coupe
Some history & technical specifications





www.carnut.com

Pontiac Deluxe Coupe(1936); Silver Streak Styling Sets the Standard - General Motors created the Pontiac in 1926 as a less-expensive partner in its Oakland Division. The Pontiac quickly eclipsed its partner and by 1932, Oakland was gone, replaced by the Pontiac Motor Company. In the midst of the Great Depression in 1935, stylist Frank Q. Hershey developed the "Silver Streak", chrome-bands extending from the grille to the end of the hood. This combined with its solid-steel Turret Top Body by Fisher, helped make the 1936 Pontiac live up to its "Most Beautiful Thing on Wheels" ad slogan.
