There is a picture of a Dark Colored Four-Door Pontiac that has stopped and a couple is getting into the back seat while the couple in thr front waits. The headline modestly claims that "It didn't take America long to decide 'it's the most beautiful thing on wheels'". A caption on the left of this picture claims that "Only from a great Modern Plant could come a low-priced car so fine" and the text is filled with words such as "unanimous", "dominates", "dependable", "quality" and bargain". There is a list in the ad that mentions the "Highlights of Pontiac Quality for 1935" and these include Solid Steel 'Turret-Top' Bodies by Fisher, Triple-Sealed Hydraulic brakes, Speedlined Styling, Silver-Alloy Bearing Engines, 10-Second Starting at Zero, Knee-Action and Luggage and Spare Tire Compartment.

Pontiac Silver Streak - Black and white 8" x 11 1/4" ad with a drawing of the 1937 Pontiac Silver Streak as it calls it "The Most Beautiful Thing On Wheels And America's Finest Low-Priced Car". This is an ad for The Style Of The Month plus The Car Of The Year as decided by Good Housekeeping magazine. There is a photo of a lady wearing a nice jacket and skirt and the script of the ad says that "It's easy to understand the perennial popularity of tweeds...and Pontiacs. Both are, at one and the same time, so smart, so comfortable, and so durable. And the longer you wear the one, and drive the other, the better you like them! Among motorists it is generally agreed that this rare combination of virtues is found in Pontiac alone. Yet this big Silver Streaked beauty is one of the lowest priced cars you can buy - a worth while fact to remember when next you shop for a car. Pontiac Motor Division, Pontiac, Michigan". |

Pontiac - Black and white 9 3/4" x 13 3/4" ad for 1940 Pontiac Special Six 4-Door Touring Sedan. Pictured in this ad is a light colored Pontiac that is stopped by the side of the road and the male occupant in this car is talking to a woman standing by the side as another couple are watching from the other side. There is a Price Tag in the upper right hand corner stating that it would cost "Only $783 For The Special Six Business Coupe". As the headline tells us, "You're missing something every day you wait!". Or "A 1940 Pontiac owner wrote us recently, 'I used to think that any car that would 'take you there and bring you back' was good enough for me. I realized how short-sighted I was. Why, for years I've been missing half the real pleasure and enjoyment of motoring without even knowing it!' This statement is typical of the expressions of literally thousands of former small-car owners who now drive Pontiacs. Profit by their experience, and investigate Pontiac yourself. See how much you've been missing by not only having a big car - and all the advantages only a big car can offer. And don't get the idea that you can't afford a Pontiac. Owners from one end of America to the other say that this big Pontiac is actually just as easy to buy and just as economical to own as smaller cars! Step up to a Pontiac today and catch up with all you've been missing for years". |

This ad shows a drawing of one lady talking to two of her friends and she is saying "Listen - a Pontiac is being sold!". She then says "Come on - you're going to get the thrill of your lives. I'm going to take you home in that big, beautiful Pontiac of mine". One of her friends answers, "What! A new Pontiac! Sort of putting on the ritz, aren't you?". The first lady then says, "Not a bit of it. Pontiac costs a lot less than you think - and my gasoline bills are the lowest ever". The second lady has to answer, "Well, you really have me interested. What dealer did you buy it from?". The ad then says that "Most Pontiac owners are that way. They seldom miss an oportunity to say a good word about their cars". The ad text goes on, talking about the way that people recommend Pontiac to one another and they "like the easy way Pontiac handles". Near the bottom of the ad we see a Red Four-Door Pontiac sitting there with the same three ladies in it, all in the front seat.

There are several other people standing nearby probably waiting for their car to be brought up. The ad headline starts by saying "It's another fine year for Pontiac watchers - and an even better one for drivers". The text continues by saying that "Pontiac-watching's all right, understand. But why quit there, when being a Pontiac driver's so easy? Now there's the life. You don't need the keys to the bank to own this new Catalina, either, even if it does look it". It then goes on to say "And, we might add, act it, what with a wider Wide-Track. And a ride as smooth as a freshly paved road (even on roads that haven't been new for many a mile). |

Pontiac Bonneville - Full color 10" x 13 3/4" ad with a view of a 1969 Green Four-Door Pontiac Bonneville sitting on a street with rain beating down on it, and there is no one there to care. The ad headline tells us that "This is the year to break away from the humdrum and into a Wide-Track Pontiac". It then asks "How come Pontiac engineers never seem to let great enough alone? Our even-plushier than normal Bonneville causes us to ask the question. Bonneville's wheelbase is longer - now stands at a luxurious 125 inches and rests on new wider-tracked 15-inch wheels for '69. Bonneville's 428 V-8 can be ordered up to 390 horsepower along with 3-speed Turbo Hydra-Matic. New energy absorbing materials protects its bumpers front and rear. And the interior accommodiations? Rest easy, friends. That great Bonneville magic abounds. You can select from a dazzling array of cloth and expanded Morrokide, or all Morrokide (or all leather, in the convertible). And rich-looking inserts touch up the doors and instrument panel. We can't think of any better way to put something great between you and the highway. Your Pontiac dealer will gladly handle the introduction". |
