Eight and the new Pontiac Six
make their initial bow to the
public this week at L. P. Steuart,

Oakland's most important
change is the syncro-meSh trans
mission which,, combined with the
85-horsepower developed by the
improved V-type engine, provides
easy shifting and second gear
acceleration up to 40 to As miles
per hour.
The Pontiac has been length

further refined. The Oakland
wheelbase is 1T inches. Five
wire wheels are standard equip

tional cost.
Better Insulation
A new type semi-drop base rim
for tires on both the standard
equipment wire wheels and on the
optional equipment wood wheels
increases the volume of air which
cushions the cars from the road
In addition, rubber insulation has
been engineered into over 40
separate points on each car to
provide multiple barriers against
the "telegraphing" of road shocks
or sounds of engine and chassis
operation.
