1942 Pontiac

Comment from the picture.

"A 1942 - wow! This must have been a fall of 41’ introduction of the new 42’s, because once America 🇺🇸 entered the war after December 7th, 1941, private automobile production soon ceased in order to free up manufacturing resources for the war effort. The next new model lines didn’t appear until 1946.
This makes this 1942 Pontiac all the more memorable and valuable."

I’ve never seen one of those. Pretty cool.

It reminded me of Stallone's movie

I had a Chevy version of this, (of course I did...:) ) but it was a '47 I believe. Didnt build it...just bought it to flip. Went to Cali someplace.

All domestic auto production stopped by the beginning of March, 1942, so a very low production year. Late '42 models had painted trim instead of chrome due to the war effort ramping up. 1942 is my favorite year for Chrysler products, particularly the DeSoto with the first and only hidden headlights for Chysler until 1966.81323
