A General Motors Valma
At first sight, America named the Silver Streak
Pontiac the most beautiful thing on wheels. But
even that high praise tells only half of Pontiac’s
story. Get in, drive, and you’ll discover that this
low-priced car is even better than it looks. It’s an
unusually safe car with solid steel “Turret-Top”
Bodies by Fisher and triple-sealed hydraulic brakes.
It’s a marvel on the road— smooth, lively, easy to
handle and easy on gas and oil. And, as such super
fine features as silver-alloy bearings and a completely
sealed chassis prove, Pontiac asks no odds of any
car at any price when it comes to quality and depend
ability. A look, a ride and you’ll decide—the car
makes the price phenomenal.
