You’ll cal! Po nliac the
happy medium . . „ quality
you won’t do without, at
a cost you can easily pay "
It isn’t difficult bo learn what most
people want in a motor car. We all
want pretty much the same fine
qualities — and we want them at a
moderate price.
You will find th'-. combination in
the Pontiac- ..iafc fine General
M ctors c fhus, if it’s a damp
day wh ,ou first jclrive a Pontiac
you will notice how snug and dry it is
inside. The same with Seat, cold and
traffic noise—because Pontiac’s fine
Fisher bodies are tightly insulated.
Appreciating the comfortable seats,
you will remark also the absence of
road shocks. This is due to hydrau
lic shock absorbers end rubber
cushioning ai43 points in thechassis.
When you first step inside the
Pontiac you will see something un
usual— genuine mohair cr whipcord
/
upholstery in the closed cars; fir.o
leathers in open models.
Even though you feel that most cars
have satisfactory engines, you will
be surprised at the smoothness with
which Pontiac’s engine does its
work. As you drive you will admire
the quick pick-up and power of that
big, easy-working motor.
Good looks? Smartness? We can
leave the proof to remarks you
will hear and the approving glances
you will see! (Bodies by Fisher.)
Possibly we are prejudiced — yet
owners praise this car more than we
would dare to. The values they have
discovered will bo clear to you once
you have driven the Pontiac. Why
not do that! Any Oakland-Pontiac
dealer will arrange a demonstration.
