advertisfmfnt is addre«»ed to
those owners of lowest-priced cars
who have often wished they could
own a Pontiac, hut never felt they could afford
one. Its purpose is to tell you that you can
afford a Pontiac and to show you why you can.
First, Pontiac, far from being an expensive
car, is actually a tou--priced car— in fact, just a
very few dollars more than "the lowest-priced
three.” As a result, your present car w ill, in all
probability, easily cover the down payment on
• Pontiac.
Second, if the sire of your monthly payment
\ ”W /
Is an important item to you, you may easily
arrange the »ember of payments so that
the amount of each bavment fits your pocket
book. N o wonder former lowest-priced car
owners are saying: "Monthly payments on my
Pontiac are so little more 1 hardly notice the
difference!"
W hat’s more, many owners w ill tell you that
in the long run, you actually pay no more for a
Pontiac— you simply invest a little more, be
cause you w ill eventually get those few extra
dollars hack again in a higher allowance at
trade-in time! See your Pontiac dealer today!
