The widespread appeal of the Pontiac Six is based on iCi
extra imoochness, extra snap and the longer life it pro*
vides. The world-wide reputation of Fisher bodies is
based on known superiorities of Fisher design in styling,
comfort and passenger protection . • • And because the
Pontiac Six is the lowest priced six with Body by Fisher,
its success has become the talk of the automotive world
•.. Do you actually know what luxuries you can enjoy
in today’s Pontiac Six? Have you experienced the
superior performance, the added comfort, the extra
satisfaction assured by the ownership of this great Gen
eral Motors product? . . . Why not come in for a
demonstration today? W^hy not learn as so many
thousands have—that a Fisher body is finer—a Fo’^ c
Six is smoother—and a price of $745 makes fru v
