THE SUNDAY_ STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C. JANUARY 35, DISPLAY 1930—PART FOUR. TODAY | ON HOINAI\I» 1045~ General Motors’ Lowest-Priced Eight . . . . the Car with Superior Performance Today a new cight-cylinder motor car makes its appeure;vce. It is the newest General Motors eight and by several hun- dreds of dollars the lowest in price. It is the most recent accomplishment of a staff of engineers with sixteen years’ experience in designing fine eight-cylinder cars. It is the New Oakland Eight with smart new bodies by Fisher. Superior Performance The New Oakland Eight develops 85 horsepower and is the first stock car of its size and weight to employ an engine of such high power. Since performance depends largely on the ratio between horsepower and weight, the New Oakland Eight is exceptionally fast and powerful. Oakland produces one horsepower to 37 pounds of car weight. That's why few cars are as fast. That's why few, if any, can pass it on the hills. That's why it accelerates so rapidly in traffic. Truly it is @ car with superior performance. Eight-Cylinder Performance Exceptional smoothness and flexibility are other prominent characteristics of the New Oakland Eight. It has all the smoothness which results from the overlapping power im- pulses inherent in eight-cylinder engine design. In addition, it enjoys exclusive mechanical advantages which make it even smoother and more delightful to drive. A Famous Name—A Finer Car . .. Introducing Important Improvements When an announcement regarding Pontiac is made, it carries a message of great importance to everyone inter- ested in low-priced six-cylinder cars. This has been true from the very beginning of Pontiac's career. The announce- ment of the first Pontiac in 1926 brought to the low-price field a new order of beauty, performance and reliability. And each Pontiac announcement since that time has infro- duced a car which represented an improvement even over its own highly regarded predecessors. Important Improvements Now comes the New Series Pontiac Big Six ~—an even finer car with a famous name. It retains all those excellent Salesroom 14th & R. I. Ave. N.W. Decatur 4800 qualities which have been responsible for Pontiac's success in the past. And in addition it introduces many refinements in smoothness of performance, in comfort and safety. New bodies by Fisher make this latest Pontiac Big Six more beautiful than ever. A new belt moulding,which encircles the car, emphasizes its stream-line length and lowness. A choice of attractive new Duco colors is available at no extra cost. Greater Smoothness and Safety The smoothness of Pontiac's 60-horsepower engine is further increased by the use of improved type rubber engine mountings. Pontiac’s large non-squeak four-wheel brakes have been made even more efficient. A new sloping non- L. P. STEUART, Inc. DISTRIBUTORS Sound Basic Design Because of their wide experience with eight-cylinder engines, the men who developed the New Oakland Eight were able to produce a car remarkably sound in its basic design. Several of the engineers who partizipated in creat- ing General Motors’ first eight back in 1914 were responsible for the development of the New Oakland Eight. To this latest task they brought a wide knowledge of eight-cylinder design. It is reasonable to expect that the Oakland is a finer eight because of this fact. Moderate Price We believe you are going to like the New Oakland Eight. We believe it will appeal to you all the more forcibly when you consider its very moderate price. You will find its many new features worthy of a thorough inspection. And a demonstration will reveal how well it merits the description, “the car with superior performance.” ; L L 4 14 The New Oakland Eight, $1045 and up, . o. b.
