1947 Pontiac Streamliner or Torpedo

I love it when I find a Craigslist advert for a car and the seller identifies the car with a name that nobody else on the internet is familiar with. Who am I to say that this isn't a '47 Pontiac SilverStream...but the internet is pretty sure that Pontiac sold two models in 1947 -- the short wheelbase Torpedo and the larger Streamliner...so what is this?  Find this 1947 Pontiac Streamliner or Torpedo offered for $8,500 via Dallas area craigslist.  This post is part of DT's 2016 Birthday Celebration of 100 cars; enjoy the ride!

Still Beating: 1947 Pontiac Streamliner

What is it about patina that draws us near? My theory is that it is a Momento Mori of sorts; a reminder of our mortality and frailty. We should all be so lucky so as to age as well as this Pontiac and still get around under our own steam. Find this 1947 Pontiac Streamliner for sale in Mason City, IA for $8,500 via craigslist.
