PONTIAC
Producedon both 6 and 8 cylinder chassis the Pontiac was released at the June Melbourne Motor Show in 1935. Very few 8 cylinders were produced and few (if any?) have survived. Priced £378 for the 6 and £438 for the 8 the model was just above the Chev Master at £365.

The Pontiac followed the Chevrolet in that the flip out rear window was a replaced in 1936 with a two piece and two boot handles gave way to a single handle in the boot centre for 1936.

For 1937 Holden's production numbers indicate some 8 cylinder Pontiac Slopers were built. These however could have been on 1936 chassis. Certainly the literature shows 8 cylinder versions but a real live one would confirm they were actually produced.
