Special Note:
Osvaldo did a great job of filling out his form correctly and sending  pictures without me asking for them, but it appears that he does not speak English and his letter is in Spanish. I can understand a little bit of what he is saying but I will look for a translator to print the letter in English and to write back to him a big thank you note! ( Gracias! ) 
Osvaldo tells us about his Pontiac:
            Hola :
        Perdon por no poder escribriles en ingles, pero espero que igual nos podamos entender. El padre de mi novia ( mi futuro  suegro !!!) posee un Pontiac Streamliner Eigth  de 1946 al cual le tiene muchisimo aprecio. El se dedica a la restauracion de autos de coleccion y pasaron por sus manos muchisimos autos pero se enamoro de un solo : del PONTIAC 1946. A mi tambien me encantas los autos y al tener acceso a internet comence a buscarle informacion sobre su pontiac. Cada vez que consigo algun dato o fotografia al le dan ganas de terminarlo y espera hacerlo antes de finalizar ste año.  De todos los lugares de internet tu pagina es la mejor sobre Pontiac y toda la informacion es muy buena. Tengo ganas de registrar nuestro pontiac y te envio unas fotos del auto en estado original y en proceso de restauracion. Puedo luego cambiar los datos del registro
cuando este totalmente restaurado ?

Desde ya muchuisimas gracias !!!!!

Looking at the closing signature again I hope I gave credit to the right person!  Perhaps a friend is helping with the email? Either way - thanks to all involved. Did anybody notice that there are 3 46's in the registry and 2 of them are in Argentina! Is that a coincidence or what?!? I am still waiting to learn more about the Pontiacs that were shipped overseas and then assembled in other countries. I have heard about this in Europe and now I am wondering if there were any plants in South America. -Thanks and good luck on your restoration. -Don 

    Apparently that good luck wish did the trick. You see the new picture above and I moved the original down here so you can get an idea of how much hard work went into the finished product.
    Truly the stuff dreams are made of.   It should inspire all of us who have only the "before" photo and are still waiting for the "after" to arrive.  Thanks from all of us, Osvaldo for all the hard work.  Nice job.
