Here's when all that wonderful
performance begins!
They’re mil true—all the wonderful things
you hear about Pontiac’s great performance.
1 The way it sweeps uphill or down with the
same effortless ease. The tremendous burst
of passing power that answers the nudge of
your toe. The thought-quick response in stop-
arid-go traffic that makes the car seem part
of you. The smooth, quiet way it goes about
its business however hard or far you drive, j
* Lift the hood of a Pontiac and you’ll be face
to face with the reason. That compact power
plant nested there may look much like other
V-8’s— but that’s where your eyes deceive you!
1 The Strato-Streak V-8 is in a class all by
itself—filled with engineering “firsts” that
make it the mightiest engine ever to appear
in Pontiac’s price field. And it’s one of the
many Pontiac advantages you can’t get any-
where else. Pontiac alone gives you the terrific
drive of Strato-Streak performance.
1 This sensational performance, remember,
comes in a distinguished, future-fashioned
beauty that is tagged with a price any new*
car buyer can readily afford.
1 Here’s your wide-open invitation to come
in and try the result—the fastest-selling Pontiac
of all time. The car is ready whenever you
are! Make it soon.
