Keeping in mind the fact that this Pontiac 860 sedan costs . less than many models of the lowest-priced cars and much less than stripped economy models of higher priced makes, consider the many ways in which Pontiac fits so neatly into the fine-car pattern. First of all, Pontiac is big where it counts in wheel base. You get a full 12.2 inches of road-hugging stability and heft and the secure feeling that goes with it. Pontiac's beauty is Pontiac's alone. No car at any price is so distinctively keyed to the future. Its exclusive Twin-Streak "styling and Vogue Two-Toning bear the future-fashioned touch you know will stay in style. When it comes to performance Pontiac overtakes even far more expensive cars. Its husky, nimble Strato- Streak V-8, 200 H.P. with 4-barrel carburetor, pro vides more power than any car within hundreds of dollars of Pontiac's modest price. You enjoy the flashing response and reserve power of the industry's most modem V-8 engine design. , Come in soon and drive the most spectacular low priced car ever built! You'll find there never was a better time to break the small car habit, because Pontiac's very low price puts you solidly and pleasantly into the big- car, nne-car class; Optional at extra cost, 180 h. p. standard.
