Description
Pontiac Catalina – Full color 9 1/2″ x 12 1/2″ ad with a drawing of a Deep Blue Two-Door Pontiac Catalina parked by the side of the road where store-fronts are just feet away and the man in a suit is putting a hat-box into the passenger seat while his equally-well dressed lady stands waiting with an armful of other item to go in. There are several other people standing nearby probably waiting for their car to be brought up. The ad headline starts by saying “It’s another fine year for Pontiac watchers – and an even better one for drivers”. The text continues by saying that “Pontiac-watching’s all right, understand. But why quit there, when being a Pontiac driver’s so easy? Now there’s the life. You don’t need the keys to the bank to own this new Catalina, either, even if it does look it”. It then goes on to say “And, we might add, act it, what with a wider Wide-Track. And a ride as smooth as a freshly paved road (even on roads that haven’t been new for many a mile).
