"There goes
another thoroughbred"
THOROUGHBREDS have both beauty and pace ... and certainly the 1931
Pontiac Six qualifies on these counts!
This fine car has the sleek grace of a blooded 'horse ... indeed it has a beauty and.
luxury much greater than its low price implies.
large, spacious Fisher Bodies are tastefdlly upholstered in rich fabrics. They
are carefully insulated against cold and noise. Rubber insulation at 43 chassis
points smothers noiseand vibration, and eliminates many bothersome points of
lubrication.
As an instance of added value, note also that the 1931 Pontiac has 5 wire wheels
as standard equipment on all regular models without extra cost. You will also
find Lovejoy hydraulic shock absorbers on all four wheels.
"Thentoo, you will discover the 1931 Pontiac Six easy and
comfortable to drive. It's a real thoroughbred, easy to
manage, eager to obey. The famous 60 horsepower motor
has speed for acceleration and speed for steady going ....
and either kind comes easily, quietly and, economically.
Put this car through its paces yourself. We will gladly
furnish a car for you to drive. Consider its value
.a General Motors value, easy to buy through GMAC,
'General Motors' own, time payment plan, and with com-
plete and continued satisfaction pledged by the General
Motors Owner Service Policy,
