The Chieftain costs less than a lot of the "low-priced” cars
yet delivers MORE power—more wheelbase - MORE ROOM!
Think big, brawny beauty would letch a fancy figure? Not the Chieftain. It's made to order
for wishful thinkers—priced right down there with the strictly budget jobs! Surprised? You'll be
V" •v«n more so when you look over the long list of premium features in this brilliant newcomer. Under
that glamorous garb, for example, is a big, rock-rugged X-member frame, riding solidly atop a
whopping 122-inch wheelbase! Cushioning each wheel is Level-Line Ride, Pontiac's new dimension in
suspension, bringing you the smoothest, safest ride you've ever known. And up front is the deep-chested
new 347 on. in., 10 to 1 compression ratio Strato-Streak V-8 engine—as sweet a performer as
ever came down the pike! So, come on, stop dreaming! Come in and have a look at this big and
_ _ _ . ___ ... i i_ _rll 1_
beautiful automobile's eye-rubbing price! Size it up! We're willing to wager your next step will be
into a Pontiac Chieftain!
