Pontiac 1928 pick up Hello everybody I am from Uruguay and I am buying a Pontiac pick up, o at least this what I think. because everything place that I ask about a Pontiac pick up I have the same answer . Pontiac never made a pick up. I need some help. thanks http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=928400&d=1268845725
Might be a home made set up? I think I recall there being a thread about manufacturers making or customizing certain vehicles for South America...
Pontiac offered 2 different sedan deliveries in the 1927~28 models. One had a solid body like most other sedan deliveries. The other had a screen delivery body with a solid top. It basically looked like a pickup with a solid top extending over the bed. There was a bed that looked like a pickup; with screened sides between the top of the bed and the top. I have pictures in the original dealership sales album, but have never seen this body. If you were to remove the screening, and cut the top right behind the passenger compartment, it would look exactly like a pickup. Jon.
It may be a special made for the forestry service. I have seen with my own eyes a Buick roadster pickup from the same time period (late twenties) for the forestry service.
The glass has been swapped out for gasketed replacements, and a rectangular one in the rear, but that is a Pontiac Pickup all right. Quite the rare animal these days. I have never seen one moving under its own power, just rotting into the ground in the forest.
Yesterday the owner told me that this trucks Came to Uruguay to be use in the state Company that manage the electrical support
That is about the coolest old truck I have ever seen. Please let us know more about it! Do you have any more pictures?
Thanks I will send you guys moré photos I will be probably closing the deal the deal this week, and then you will have to put up my questions for a long time.
