ed in Big Six Series of
New Models.

NCW mOQClOs
Newly styled for 1890 and en-
lowed with big car stamina and big
car power. the new series Pontiac
big six again offers exceptional
value in the field Of low-priced SKIES.
All the staunch qualities respon-
sible for Pontiac's record of success
since its introduction in 1925 have
been retained in the cars OF the
1880 series, while many further re-
tnements also have been achieved.
Power, speed, safety, reliability
and durability-these are the big
car qualities which distinguish the
new Pontiac. The Pontiac big six
engine, developing Co. brake horse
power at 5000 r. p. m, provides a
reserve of power which gives re-
marksble acceleration and permits
tireless all-day high-speed perform
ance.
New Colors
Fisher craftsmen, through artistic
blending of smart lines, colors and
perfect proportions, have conferred
many new and distinctive elements
of style, beauty and appeal upon
the bodies of the 1880 Pontiac.
Seven new body models are Of
fered on the new series chassis.
They are a two-door sedan, four
door sedan, custom sedan, two-paS-
senger coupe, four passenger sport
coupe. sport roadster and phaeton.
Overall length, with bumpers, is
1917 inches. Wheelbase remains
no inches.
While body dimensions remain
practically the same as last year.
their appearance has been enhanced
by new design Of long, sweeping
fender with beaded edges. Another
new appearance feature Is found
in the half-oval belt molding which
starts at the narrow new radiator
gradually widening to a point just
below the windshield post and car
ried In a straight line Of uniform
width Just below the concave body
belt TO the rear of the window open
ings, where it again narrows and
follows the belt line around the
back panel.
Theft Proof Locks
Attractively finished in new Duco
color combinations, the closed bodies
are upholstered in mohair Of har-
monizing hues. Spanish leather up
holstery with fabrikoid to match,
distinguish the open models, which
have forward-folding windshields
with chrome plated metal trim
Door curtains may be left in posi-
ton, even though the tops have
been lowered. Theft-proof door
locks are provided on all closed
models.
New ten spoke wheels with large
hub caps bearing the Pontiac name
plate emphasize the artistic lines of
the new Pontiac. Sets OF six wire
wheels are obtainable as special
equipment. the two spare tires and
wheels being Graded in fender wells
with chrome plated retainer clamps
and black enameled locks. An at
tractive trunk rack also is provided
as extra equipment. Sparkling chro-
MUM plate lends permanent ulster
to external bright parts.
Comfort meets beauty in every
detail of the new car. A sloping
windshield not only contributes to
improved appearance. but largely
eliminates annoying reflections DUR
Ing night driving. Rubber cups
on brake and clutch pedals seal the
openings around pedal slots when
the pedals are in normal position.
Steering System
An effective steering system OPP
crates on taper roller bearings of
the new hour glass type affording
ease of control, as do the adjustable
drivers seats in the closed models.
An all-metal military type, visor,
fitting beam headlights operated by
foot control and a new instrument
grouping on the ebony-finiShed
panel also provide further elements
OF convenience and grace. A new
built-in coil ignition lock operates
from the instrument paIleI.
Reduction in the detection rate
OF the front springs is largely re-
sponslble for the improved riding
qualities of the latest Pontiac, while
form-fltting, graphite-packed spring
covers assure permanently efficient
spring action and thus contribute
appreciably to passenger comfort.
The Lovejoy hydraulic shock abb
sorbers now restrain spring rebound
oy means of solid metal, rubber
pushed links instead of straps, a
change which enables them to be-
come instantly effective.
Also several notable improve
mentS have been incorporated IN
the engine of the new series Pontiac.
