It’s easy enough to see w h y—and it’s also easy to see that the basic things which make th y model so desirable can be yours in any Pontiac you choose. Every Pontiac is distinctively beautiful. Every Pontiac, whether it be a Straight Eight or a Six, a Chieftain or a Streamliner, a Sedan or a Coupe, will give you marvelous performance and wonderful satisfaction for yearj and years. Yes, the car you see here is a very smart buy chiefly because it’s a Pontiac, and dollar for dollar, you can’t beat any Pontiac! Come in and see for yourself.
