1938 Pontiac Sedan – Timeless Pre-War Elegance with Iconic Suicide Doors
This 1938 Pontiac 6-27 Sedan is a striking example of pre-war American automotive craftsmanship, featuring its unmistakable suicide doors and elegant late-'30s styling. Finished in classic black with a brown cloth interior, this vintage Pontiac exudes timeless appeal and originality. Power comes from a 223 cubic inch inline-six engine producing 85 horsepower, paired to a 3-speed manual “3 on the tree” transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.
True to its era, the car rides on 16-inch wheels with leaf spring suspension and drum brakes all around, maintaining its authentic driving feel. Inside, the bench seating, AM radio, and minimalist dash capture the charm of 1930s motoring, offering a glimpse into a bygone age of design and simplicity. With its original paint and interior, this 1938 Pontiac delivers an exceptional opportunity for collectors seeking a well-preserved example of classic pre-war automotive history.
