Of New Pontiac
For Year *65
Pontiac Motor Division offers
a completely new concept in au
tomotive design and styling with
the introduction of their 1965
models.
The Catalina, Star Chief and
Bonneville models will present
an appealing silhouette as they
are longer, lower and wider on
the exterior and contain more
room and luxurious furnishings
in the interior.
The combination of styling ex
cellence and outstanding perfor
mance, which has valuted Ponti

in automobile sales, prevails a

The Catalina models, t h e
Grand Prtx spoils coupe and all
station wagons have a 121-inch

In announcing the new models.
E. M. Estes, a General M >tors
vice president and general man
ager of Pontiac said, “every 1965
model is a newly-inspired Ponti
ac creation containing perfor
mance. styling and luxury- fea
tures never before offered in the
middle price range.”
Tile 1965 Pontiacs go on sale
in dealer showrooms Septetnhet

All the body styles for 1965 are
completely new. They all ha\ •
the obvious appearance advan
tages of curved glass which al
lows ilw upper structure to bet
ter integrate with the lower as
'part of the overall car design.
This is particularly Evident on
tin* sports coupe with its fast
flowing roof line. Curved glass
also makes possible a more effi
cient use of space.
A Pontiac e.v lusive for 1965 is
the articulated windshield wipei
which gives a g tea ter sweep area
than ever before. This system is
designed to wipe at much highei
speeds than any other system.
Tiie articulated wiper is standard
on ail Pontiac models except the
Catalina which offers it as an op
ion. The articulated wiper has
greater tension of the blade to
the glass and gives bettor wiping
in the critical corner areas of the
windshield.
l’ontiac windshields are Iargbt
anti have less curvature for im
proved vision and more effective

Custom detailing in many
aieas has been introduced on the
new models. Wheel opening
moldings, stainless steel hotly
guard side moldings anti sparkl
ing new chrome die cast front
and rear end treatments are all
featured in 1905. Large wrap-a -
round bumpers are scaled to|
longer anti more dominant front
entl sheet metal.
Several important improve
ments have been made in the
Pontiac convertibles which mean
!let ter appearance, more comfort
and increased safety. All conver
tibles have a new tempered glass
roar window to provide the ulti
mate in visibility ami durability.
This window does away entirely
with deformation and scratching.
Also, the window doe* not need
to he removed and may he low
ered readily with the top.
One of the most exciting mod
els in the 196' Pontiac lineup id
the 2 plus 2. Available in Cata
lina sports coupe and converti
ble models, the 2 plus 2 has
come into its own in 1963.

DON'T OVER-CROWD
TOUR ROOMS
Many years ago a famous
decorator said. ••'Hie right way
to furnish any room is with
the least number of pieces of
i-.i-,. n»d not with the
most. That
principle still
applies today.
Too many
rooms in too
homes look
like displays in
furniture stores
—terribly over
crowded.
Many people seem to have
a fear of leaving any open
floor or wall spaces in their
rooms. But. actually there is
nothing worse than the "clut
tered” look.
Sufficient spacing is an im
portant factor in decorating.
It is often the difference be
tween "decorating" and “furn
ishing".
Enough space between the
different pier-es of furniture
and wall decoration in any
room will allow the individual
items to "stand on their own
feet" and display their own
personality.
We are always ready to give
you decorating advice and
help with no obligation. Come
on in and talk over your dec
orating problems with us. We
welcome the opportunity to
visit with you.
