WE’D like you to come in and
hear a wonderful story.
First of all, it’s the story of a
great car—a car whose name is
respected and admired every
where in America. We are sure
that the word “Pontiac” means
something distinct and differ
ent from any other name in the
motor car world.
The word Pontiac means a
good solid citizen—a thoroughly
good car—a beautiful car—a
car with a reputation for deliv
ering years and years and years
of driving pleasure.
But there’s another important
part of this story you should
hear: It's the wonderful story
of Pontiac*s price!
For this great car, desirable as
it is, is one of the lowest priced
automobiles in America—just
one step above the very lowest.
Come in, get our deal—a won
derful story all the way around! L
