Unique 1939 Pontiac Model 2519 Touring 4-Door Sedan – A Genuine Historical Gem

On behalf of the current owner in Sweden, we are proud to offer this exceptional 1939 Pontiac Model 2519 Touring 4-Door Sedan to the global market. This time-honored vehicle, built and sold new in Sweden, is not just a collector's item but a living piece of Swedish military history.

A Car with a Fascinating Story

Purchased new in Sweden in 1939, this Pontiac was quickly requisitioned for military service. The original red paint was replaced with a robust military green, and the car served faithfully until 1946 before returning to its first owner. During the 2002-2019 restoration, the historical green color was retained, and the car now sports a stylish two-tone paint that preserves its military heritage.
