You don't have to look far to find the reason for the tremendous surge to Pontiac. No further than the fact that only Pontiac produces cars that compete with the costliest in size, smartness and power, yet carry a price tag that is well under many in the lowest-price field. That's what brings people in to see and drive a Pontiac a value story they simply can't afford to overlook. And once they do once they get a close-up of America's most distinctive styling . . . once they sample the superlative roominess and comfort of LOOK HIGH AND LOW AND YOU'LL GO Pontiac's luxury interiors . . . once they try the pulse racing thrills of exclusive Strato-Streak V-8 perform ance they lose interest in every car but this. Come in and get the rest of the story. See, drive and price this high-powered future-fashioned beauty. You'll find that if you can afford any new car you can easily afford a Pontiac.
