Full color 9 3/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad that says that “Last Christmas this Polaroid Land Camera was just an idea. So automatic it even calls you when your picture is ready”. On the left side of the ad it shows a front view and a back view of this camera and in the bottom right side it shows a color picture that was taken of a man and two children on Christmas. The ad text says that “We’ve done it. The camera that calls you when your picture is ready. This is the Countdown 350. One of the most automatic cameras in the world. The moment you shoot, the 350 starts making decisions for you. The electric eye tells the electronic shutter how much light to let in when you shoot. Pull the film packet, and the electronic timer “beeps” the instant your picture is ready. Tt’s one of the most versatile models we’ve ever made. You can take blaci-and-white shots indoors. Without flash. Automatic time exposure. Even portraits and close-ups with special attachments. And it’s one of the finest Polaroid Land Cameras ever made. It has a sharp 3-element lens. And a Zeiss Ikon double image rangefinder viewfinder. There are great cameras in Polaroid’s Countdown line. Starting at under $80. (The Model 330.) They all beep or buzz to tell you that your picture is ready. They’re gifts that speak for themselves. Now you’ve heard everything”.
