About Art's Pontiac: Art's Pontiac has a 6 cyl. engine and a standard transmission. Art has owned his Pontiac since 1995. He describes it as "Original- being restored." Art is a member of P.O.C.I. and his birthday is 9-17-44. He will keep us posted on his progress. Good Luck. Art tells us: "I am originally from Wisconsin and about three years ago when I was home visiting my parents, I saw this beauty sitting along the road "For Sale". I stopped and looked at the car and filed the event in an out of the way memory cell. When I returned to the Atlanta area, the memory of the car continued to jump in the way more and more frequently. Finally after three months, I called the number I had taken down only to find out that the car was tentatively sold. A person from Milwaukee was supposedly on the way out that afternoon to buy it. On a chance, I asked if he had money in his hand within an hour if he would call it sold. He told me that the first dollar took the car. I immediately said good-bye and called the parents. They went immediately to the car and gave the man the money. Whew!!! That was close. Now I had a '48 Pontiac in Wisconsin and I lived in Georgia. A year later, my parents drove a big motor home to Texas by way of Georgia and surprised me with the '48 on a hauler towed behind the "bus". I have been looking for a few parts since then and also looking for a whole lot of time to begin restoration. I can see that the time is soon coming available and I will update this information with the progress."

Art Updates us on his progress: Here is an update on my '48. Last week I sold a '53 Chevy Sport Coupe. The guy that bought it owns a replating/rechroming automobile restoration business in the Atlanta area. (Good Fortune)Yesterday I went to his business to talk to him and today it rides on a flatbed truck to the Restoration House.When it gets there, we will have a better idea of the time needed to complete the project. My guess - a couple of years. I am so excited to get this project underway. I will keep you posted 6-23-98

Art has sent me quite a few pictures of his 48 in "various states of undress". I will include all of them in the Pontiac Archives Page coming soon. Somehow the work in progress pictures seem to make us feel the proudest when we look back a few years later and remember how far we have come.
