The Pontiac Series 603 for 1934 embodied a bold step forward in performance for this enduring GM marquee. New knee-action suspension, improved induction and a new high-compression head yielded noteworthy power gains while maintaining admirable gas mileage at 19mpg or better, from the Straight 8 223ci engine mated to 3-speed manual transmission. The roomier Fisher body trimmed with features typically reserved for the more upscale Buicks, LaSalles and Cadillacs made the 603 a formidable mid-market competitor. Styling was unmistakably Pontiac, characterized by paint and trim schemes that were tastefully inspired by Native American heritage and homeland.

This example of the rarely-seen Pontiac ‘8’ Series 603 cabriolet is a previous show winner and has been the subject of an extensive restoration. Clad in ‘standard’ trim, distinguished by the Native American Brave hood mascot, this example has a show quality appearance from bumper-to-bumper. Paintwork is a handsome clothing of Douglas Green with Black wings, that presents as almost flawless. Deep chrome Pontiac brightwork is polished to a deep lustre.

Period features, such as the ornate dashboard and accompanying instrumentation are all in excellent condition. The recently restored interior upholstery in Maple Brown leather, contrasts perfectly with the exterior paint scheme. A Pontiac 603 was even chosen as the official pace-car for the Indianapolis 500 in 1934, so this is a wonderful example of 1930s automotive Americana and a potential centrepiece for any Pre-War American car collector. Offered with the US Texas title with UK duty paid and a NOVA reference number present.
