historic site vehicles - fourth post

OK, this might be another easy one. I think these are the same vehicle? I'm sure somebody can read the model name in the one photo if you know the words you are looking for--which I don't.

The first is a 1942 Chevrolet Fleetline Sportmaster 4-door sedan.  The emblem on the fender appears to say "Silver Streak" which would be a Pontiac, likely 1949-1952.

I am probably allowed to tell you because it is a public site: Hampton National Historic Site in Towson, MD. I grew up less than 50 miles away and hadn't heard of it until they hired my company to do research. Probably the largest private residence in the country when it was completed c. 1790. We are researching the family garage and several other, older outbuildings to learn more about how the place actually operated. Very hard to put a date on some of these buildings that nobody ever cared to keep any records about, which is why I'm here asking about cars!

 

Anyway, thanks for the info. Every little bit helps.

The Pontiac Silver Streak is a six cylinder model.  The eight cylinder model has the number "8" incorporated into the script design.
