It's a revolution on wheele—boldly planned
from the very beginning as a Golden Anniver-
sary showpiece for Pontiac And Geryral Motors.
Thin one you really must see—Here is a fcar unlike any
' you have ever known! This Golden Jubilee Pontiac
is actually an all-new breed of cars—in four brilliant
series and 16 sleek models covering virtually every
price bracket.
In all of them you’ll find engineering advances so
daringly different yet so basically sound that they will
trigger the next big change in automobile design.
You’ll find a few of these ideas illustrated here, but
even they can’t begin to tell the full story.
Why not be among the first to discover the newest.
\ When you meet this bold new Pontiac, you’re in for
a driving thrill that is impossible to duplicate in cars
of conventional design. So make it a point to see your
Pontiac dealer soon and prove to yourself that no car
in history ever left yesterday so far behind!
