[Closed] Pics -- Motor City 1950 Pontiac

Guest · 2010-05-05T07:10:21Z

Pics -- Motor City 1950 PontiacPontiac's first new postwar generation arrived in 1949. Clean, modern styling was courtesy of Harley Earl's staff, and similar in general concept to that seen on GM's other new model lines in '49. The 1950 cars were a continuation of the themes on the '49.All Pontiac series were offered with the familiar inline flathead engines from earlier years, and there were DeLuxe trim models in each. Although Pontiac's change in emphasis to performance was a decade away, the '50 Ponchos were nice highway cruisers and still a step above Chevrolet in terms of GM's hierarchy.The MOC '50 Poncho has great presence and detail in person.photo no longer availablephoto no longer availablephoto no longer availableI had been trying to get a 1950 Poncho for awhile and I was able to work out a deal on a green Poncho. As an added bonus, the Pontiac is a legit 1-of-1 complete with a letter from MOC. photo no longer availableThe '50 Pontiac cost between $1,805-$2,206. For a little more money ($1,878-3,296), the buyers could take a step up to Oldsmobile's 88 with its lusty new overhead valve V8 engine. Below, the MOC Poncho is pictured with a '50 Olds 88 by MOC.photo no longer availableLike it's Chevrolet cousin, the 1953 and 1954 Pontiacs were heavily facelifted versions of the car that first appeared in 1949. Below, the '50 Poncho is pictured with a '54 Pontiac by Conquest Models.photo no longer available

That is one gorgeous piece.

The proportions seem dead on including the delicate trim package. That's one MOC model I've not seen before. It's impressive.
