And all this blazing power is smoothed to perfection by Pontiac's exclusive new Strata-Flight Drive.

In fact, Pontiac takes them aO. on--no holds barred--in performance! And in every other respect this car overtakes the finest in features although it overlaps the lowest in price! Certainly no car is more distinctively beautiful --with styling so new and fresh tho experts are calling it a tip-off on a trend. Few cars put more road-leveling length between front and rear wheels--where it counts--or give you the safety of so much sure-footed solitiness. Come in and see for yourself why Ponliac has them coming from both ends of the price scale-how it's changing the buying habits of many who previously paid much more and still didn't get al! of Pontiac's performance, size and luxury.
