This new car was the t direct result of a very specific idea. The idea was this: to create a car which took its style, its engineering principles and its features from the very best and most expen sive in America— and to build these into a car priced just above the very lowest! Naturally, such an idea produced a wonder ful and highly popular car—a car which mil lions of satisfied owners have driven with outstanding pride and pleasure. Now, nearly three decades later, an entirely new Pontiac has been created for 1955—a car completely new from the ground up! One thing, however, about the 1955 Pontiac - remains unchanged—its basic idea— to offer the American public the very finest car that can possibly be built to sell at a price within easy reach of any new-car buyer.
