Pontiac did a fine 1936 coupe version featuring "Silver Streak Styling", which would be a Pontiac styling cue for many years after this. This 1/18 model was done very nicely in several colors by Signature. Here it is in a silver/gray edition and also black edition.

Great pics; nice model, Mike. Is that a rumble seat in the back or is it just a trunk?

Thanks, Rich ! It's just a trunk back there and I think rumble seats were falling out of favor compared to a full-size trunk ! That Silver Streak styling could still be seen up to even their 1955 models and as a small kid I remember it on my Grandparents '55 Pontiac.

I have the black one. I always thought this was a fine model of a mid thirties car when few existed.

Yes this is a rather gorgeous model and at a quite reasonable cost, bought mine black one awhile back ,unfortunately came with some paint rash on the driver sides of the hood but was able to sand and refinish it ….
lone suggestion for owners of this little black gem is to paint the running boards ,just think they look a bit more realistic….

@larry-kemling Very true Larry. I painted mine when I received it many years ago.

@larry-kemling Good tip Larry. Mine is in green, but always felt a little cheated when I realized only ONE side of the hood opens. 😔 😔 😕

Was always curious as which side opened as I was afraid of scratching the paint,on mine neither side seemed willing to open lol

@larry-kemling HA! I would've bet money I owned the green version..... once I located it, I laughed. It's black. 🙄 🙄
The hood opens/folds on the left, but the right side of the engine has better detail. One day, I'll make a gasser out of one of these and just cut the hood clean off.... I included a 1937 Chevy pic as a gasser reference.
