The Pontiac Standard Series 701B / Master Series 6BB was a mid- size passenger car manufactured by Pontiac , a General Motors brand , in the 1935 and 1936 model years .

In the first year of production, the model was called Pontiac Standard , was released on December 29, 1934 and had the serial number 701B . It was available as a 2-door coupe with two seats or as a 2- or 4-door sedan with five seats. There was a version of the sedans without a separate trunk (Sedan) and with a separate trunk (Touring Sedan). The newly launched six-cylinder was equipped with more voluminous fenders and had a "waterfall grill" with vertical chrome bars that continued on the bonnet. This design became known as the " Silver Streak ".

The model was equipped with a side-valve six-cylinder in-line engine with 3408 cc capacity, the 80 hp (59 kW) at 3600 min ^-1 gave. The engine power was transmitted to the rear wheels via a single-disc dry clutch, a partially synchronized three-speed gearbox with center shift and a cardan shaft. The cars had hydraulic brakes on all four wheels, which were wire-spoke wheels. In contrast to the Deluxe , the Standard still had a rigid front axle.

In the following year, the series was renamed Pontiac Master and received the serial number 6BB . The waterfall grill had become much narrower and the engine had gained 1 bhp. The headlights that previously sat on the front fenders moved to the sides of the bonnet. The first gear of the three-speed transmission was now also synchronized. A 2-door cabriolet was added to the previously manufactured bodies.

In the following year, the Deluxe Six model, manufactured in 1936, replaced the “Master”. 142,770 cars were built in two years.
