There being no further business New Pontiac Models Go on Display Here At Hurst Company Motorists of tills area are among the first in the nation to see the 1946 Pontiac models. The first shipment by the company, of new cars since 1942, has arrived at the Hurst here and been placed on display. Each dealer in this area has received one car. This policy is oeing carried out throughout the rest of the country by Pontiac in the interest of fairness. More cars will be shipped as soon as each of the approximately 3,000 Pontiac dealers has a 1946 model to display.

A preview look at the new Pontiacs now on display reveals advanced styling which emphasizes a road-hugging i appearance and plane-like countours. Dominated by the famed Silver Streak, the frontal appearance dommands attention with its' massive, flowing beauty, enhanced by a newly designed grille, relocated parking lamps and heavier bumpers extended in a sweeping curve to protect front fender skirts. "Mechanically," D. U. Bathrick, general sales manager of Pontiac Motor Division said, "the new Pontiac contains as many functional improvements as have been offered by Pontiac in any mode! year." "All have been completely tested and found desirable.

Everything on the car, both inside and out, has been aimed at forwarding Pontiac's reputation for building a fine car capable of giving topflight yet economical and trouble free service. The satisfied ownei always has been and always wil remain our goal." At present Pontiac production is concentrated on the two-dooi Streamliner a popular type introduced by Pontiac in the low price field. Pontiacs again are available in both six and eight cylinder models with a negligible price difference. Order taking will be determinec by the individual dealers, Mr. Bathrick said.

Sales agreements signed now are sujbject to prices wlu'cl will be 'established later. Pontiac's production continues to be one of the highest in the industry, Mr. Bathrick said. In the first complete production year Pon tiac will manufacture a half mil lion cars, a program which it is backing with' the largest expan sion program in Its history. Funeral Services.
