    Not nearly as many Pontiac club coupes seen as the Chevy models. Mighty fine car. Great purchase.

    yes, and decent pictures that show the entire car. I swear nobody creating car for sale ads have even the slightest ability to take a decent photograph

    Yep….
    It’s either a microscopic view of the windshield wiper or 300 yards away. It seems there’s no in between.
    Where’s Waldo?
    Yep that’s a car.

    I am envious! My 50 Streamliner is just sitting in the corner of my shop waiting for me to either start on it or sell it.

    Good thing they don't or we couldn't find the bargains like this one.

    Boy that’s a nice example of a great looking car that you seldom see these days.
    I’ve seen a few ‘49-‘50 Olds and Pontiac coupes pop up for sale recently for very attractive prices. I’ve always wanted one but I haven’t got the room to add another car to the fleet. Oh well….

    If you think engines down the road stay with a Pontiac. Suprising the mid 60’s 326-350’s were excellant and lot lighter than the other V8 of the early V8’s. Having a “business coupe” is way better that the sedan.

    There is much truth to the lack of marketing skills comments in many sales ads.
    In this case, as in many others, the widow of the cars owner had no idea how or where to begin when dealing with her husbands collection after his sudden death and relied on the help of others to do what she could.
    Dan found a gem and met a great guy trying to do what he could to help someone out.
    Great lesson for us all to share the great gift of knowledge and networking we have here thanks to Ryan with those in need of help.
    Merry Christmas Guys!

    "business coupes" are low price, low trim models.. for GM anyways. they would have no side trim, the lower quarter trim would be rubber rather than chrome, the bumpers would not have the extra chrome piece on the corners and there would be no back seat.
