1948 Pontiac Streamliner

           
From Michael Moore, in California: "I got to see this 1948 Pontiac [!] Fleetline being tastefully upgraded at Express Auto Upholstery in Vallejo. The sign over the desk says I have five children; No Discounts A treat to see…thought you’d like it too.  I had only known there were Chevy Fleetlines..." (LATER CORRECTION from MM: Pontiacs, late Forties [looking VERY much like Bruce McCall illustrations in their ads], were not Fleetlines.  They came in two other flavors - Torpedos and, what I sent you, Streamliners.)
AL: here's a Chevy Fleetline we caught in Cambridge a while back; and one that was for sale in Wiscasset, Maine. Our fave is this '46 Chevrolet Fleetline Aerosedan in Aneroid, Saskatchewan. That car inspired an Alex Emond watercolor (below).
