The molds for the newly designed Pontiac were used from March through December of 1941. Manufacturing then ceased as Murray's facilities, like many others in America, dedicated their production towards the war effort, leaving the barely used molds for the Pontiac shelved and it's fate in question.
In 1948, Murray decided to dust off those molds for a two year run of the Pontiac which produced a Star automobile, a Pontiac, and a Pontiac Fire Chief in sedan form.
Murray then added an extended rear area and a step to produce the Hook and Ladder and a Station Wagon with a working tailgate. At some point during the interrupted production time, a Service Truck, with an authentic wrecker boom, was among the offerings from Murray.
The 1948 (1941) Pontiac was very popular, considering the odd production run and today is a great find for any collector.
These cars were offered with many different graphics painted on the sides. The background colors accurately depict original paint color schemes from Murray.
Parts shown in the exploded view but not listed below are currently not available. Sorry!
