Beautifully new in styling from bumper to
bumper, the great new 1953 Pontiac represents
an outstanding value in many ways: It gives
you a longer 122-inch wheelbase—and roomier,
more luxurious bodies. Pontiac’s over-all per
formance is even more spectacular for 1953—
with remarkable steering and parking ease.
For performance, economy and deep-down
value, the 1953 Pontiac is indeed an auto
mobile masterpiece well worth Inspecting.
