Description
Pontiac Tempest LeMans Convertible Full color 10″ x 12 1/2″ ad with a picture of a black convertible with the top down and the driver’s side door opened, parked and sitting in a light background. The headline asks you to “Call it the Tempest LeMans! (Luh-mahnz)” and claims that this is “Pontiac’s new package of punch…posh…and low price!”. It is available in a “Convertible or Coupe! A couple of fancy, frisky newcomers. Pull the trigger on a fired-up “4”, (Standard power: 110, 115, 120 or 140 h.p. Optional at extra cost: 166-horse “4”; 185 h.p. aluminum V-8; four-speed, floor mounted stick shift) Plush sports-type bucket seats and full carpeting are part of this package. Plenty more. Front engine balanced by rear transmission. Independent suspension at all four wheels. Big 15-inch wheels and tires (at no extra cost)”. You are then asked to “Get the good word from your Pontiac dealer. He’s very high on the car and very low on the price”.
