The 1949 Pontiac Streamliner Wood Body Wagon was the last of the wood-bodied Pontiac cargo haulers, though there was hardly as much wood as before. It was offered as an alternative to a new all-steel wagon this year, though there was little difference in price.

Both six- and eight-cylinder versions were available. A standard-trim eight-passenger model was offered, and there was a six-passenger equivalent with DeLuxe trim only.
