The 1933 Pontiac was young Frank Hershey's first assignment upon joining GM Art & Color after Walter Murphy Coachbuilders in Pasadena, CA closed in 1931. He was the designer who created most of the outstanding designs for Duesenberg J's bodied by Murphy. In later interviews, he said he took inspiration from and modeled 1933 Pontiac frontal styling on the concurrent Bentley 8 Liter which is one of the most elegant and handsome automobiles of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I’ve always wanted a 34 3 window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hudsy Wudsy Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Here's a '32 Bentley. It, too, is a nice looking car, but I feel it's marred, like many other European marques, by overly large headlights competing for our attention. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headlight size and placement aren't always complementary to the European design but that may be because they had to comply with the lighting regulation in that country. The essential shape of the radiator shell similarity can to seen here. Note for the 1933, the hood louvers are placed toward the rear which Hershey had also designed for a Bentley at Murphy. The winged emblem is another feature Hershey included to instill a note of richness seen on the Bentley. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudsy Wudsy Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 My one complaint, and it's one I've voiced before, is that GM coupes and convertible coupes of the thirties all have diminished deck lid height. I think that they look out of proportion in that regard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alsancle Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I'm cool with the proportions on the 33/34 GM coupes. The Lasalle, Buick and Pontiac really appeal to me in those years. At 34k he is getting closer to market which I believe is around 25-30 for this car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabotom Posted March 4, 2022 Share Posted March 4, 2022 Is the car still available. This was my first car and I drove it all through college in the 60's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
