The car says GO and the price won't stop you !
Easy way to break the small car habit!
It’s the hardtop buy of the year
with the most power and size per
dollar of any car in this style.
If you’re accustomed to buying in the low
priced-three range, chances are you’re paying for
Pontiac’s size, performance and distinction—
but you’re not getting it! As a matter of fact, you’re
not even coming close!
Where else at a price so low can you enjoy boss
ing the most modern, most advanced power plant
in the industry—the mighty Strato-Streak V-8?
Where else at a price so low can you get the
luxury of Pontiac’s optional Strato-Flight Hydra
Matic—America’s newest, smoothest automatic
transmission?
Where else at a price so low can you find a big
122-inch wheelbase, such luxurious interiors and
all the other fine-car features that put you so
squarely on even terms with buyers of far costlier
cars? Come in and see how easily this heart-lifting
Strato-Streak beauty can be yours. Once you
do, you’ll be out of the small-car class forever!
r /
You can actually buy a big, glamorous Pontiac 860 for less
than you would pay for ^ models of the low-priced three!
