The New Pontiac Big Six is scoring ire
mendous success. All previous Pontiac
production records have been surpassed in
meeting the enthusiastic demand for this
car. But the most interesting phase OF
Pontiac's latest and greatest success lies,
not in the number of people who are buying
it, but in the kind of people. They give the
real clue to what this car provides.
The New Pontiac Big Six was created for
those progressive people who had been
seeking a finer low priced automobile.
They are the people who appreciate true
style and luxury-in homes, in furniture,
i'm automobiles. The New Pontiac Big Six
was designed to enable them to step up the
quality of their motor cars without stepping
out of the low-priced field.
The big car style revealed in its smart,
luxurious Fisher bodies has appealed to
their sense of beauty. Its smoothness and
silence have convinced them that it per-
forms like a fine big car. And they have
recognized big car quality in such features
as its Harmonic Balancer which eliminates
crankshaft vibration, its C-M-R cylinder
head which minimizes knocking and it's
noiseless, internal four-wheel brakes.

AS a result, they have bought the New
Pontiac Big Six by tens of thousands,
enabling us once again to tell the familiar
story Pontiac Six reaches new high
point in sales. 7
A special demonstration has been arranged
to show how thoroughly the New Pontiac
Big Six lives up to its name. If you will
come in for this demonstration, you will
learn the reasons for Pontiac's success.
