Description
Pontiac Grand Prix – Full color 10″ x 12″ ad shows a blue two-door Pontiac Grand Prix going up a hill in what looks like an Italian town. The ad headline calls the car “A gentleman’s carriage, but tread lightly” and the male and female inside are having a great time. The ad says that “On the surface a luxury car. Rich-bucket seats, glistening center console, warm walnut trim, dual speed wipers with washers to clear the way ahead”. But then, “you twist this little key, and 389 cubic inches of V-8 and a formidable Wide-Track suspension come into play – to an extent that makes you realize, very suddenly, what all the pavement is there for”. They say that you may not use the Grand Prix’s hidden talents every day but you might want to use them if you have something to deal with in a hurry, like a road.
