1933: Pontiac "Tudor"

I'm such a hopeless romantic! Wouldn't it be great to see a 2009 Pontiac exactly as you see that 1933 Pontiac in the photo above, only with all the 21st century features: automatic transmission, disk brakes, power steering, shocks, CD/MP3/satellite radio, air conditioning, chrome plated steel bumpers that were meant to bump without those cheesy composition bumpers on today's autos, velour seats and headliner, and powered by one of those "Prius" type engines.......dream on, Tom Glover!

I posted the above graphic some time ago, scanning it from a 1932 Trenton newspaper. Thanks to "Ray from Villa Park," who corrected me as to the year. Ray correctly noted that the car is actually a 1933 Pontiac, illustrated in a 1932 paper that was heralding the new 1933 models. Thanks to Ray, I have removed the December, 2008 post, corrected the error and it is re-posted today.

Tom, This is a 1933 Pontiac. It is a two door sedan. You can identify this model as a '33, by the vertical louvers on the side of the hood, the single horn underneath the left headlamp, the deeply valanced fenders, the backward slant of the grille and matching angle of the windshield, among other things. This was the the year for the first straight eight engine which lasted, with improvements, for the next 20 years.

MANY THANKS FOR THE CORRECTION, RAY; I NEED ALL MY VISITORS TO CORRECT ANY ERRORS I MAY MAKE. I HOPE YOU ARE A FREQUENT VISITOR TO MY WEBSITE.
