We were proud in 2005 when Foose Design featured total of 32 Foose Vehicles at SEMA, a record for any designer/fabricator and more than any of the OEM’s that year. For three years in a row we built cars live in front of the SEMA audience for TLC’s TV Show Overhaulin’. One of them even went to the very first SEMA show when it was under the bleachers at Dodger Stadium! For the past ten years Foose Design has featured or unveiled specialty vehicles at SEMA.

This was the first year GM introduced vent windows, originally called “no draft individually controlled ventilation”, later shortened to “ventiplanes”. It is a twin side-mount, meaning it carries spares on both sides of the engine compartment this feature and the 5 window coupe body style are quite rare. The seller has owned this car since 1980 and indicates that it was painted by Sam Foose – Chip Foose’s father. The car is located in Grafton, North Dakota. Here on eBay is a rare 1933 Pontiac 5 Window Coupe, bid to $26,900, reserve not met. The 1933 Pontiacs also benefited from the company’s first straight 8 engine. The car received a chrome strip on its hood – the beginnings of the famous “silver streak” employed with extravagance after 1935. The dash panel was made to mimic the instrument panel of an airplane. The result was a complete departure from earlier generation Pontiacs. His crew, including Frank Hershey – Father of the Thunderbird – set to designing a more aerodynamic body for the upcoming Pontiacs. Meanwhile, a young man named Harley Earl was working with GM at the time. Pontiac proved so popular that Oakland was absorbed into the Pontiac division by 1932. The “Pontiac” was actually a model introduced by Oakland, which was part of GM, in 1926.
