CB I Although the Pontiac Big Sir gives you the performance advantages of a 60-horsepower engine and the comfort advan tages of big, roomy, substan tially built bodies by Fisher it is one of the most economical cars you can possibly own! Scores of leading business houses have standardized on i'ontiac for this reason.' And typical of their experience is this statement from one firm operating forty-four: " From the standpoint of cost of operation, our experience with the Pontiac Six is that its cost per mile is less than tHat of any other make or type of car we huve ever used. This includes all gasoline, oil, tires, insurance and depreciation." Buying a Pontiac Big Six means the enjoyment of big car per formance at small car cost.
