Original Newspaper Ads


My son and I went to the public library today. While he was looking for books, I loaded up a couple of old newspaper microfiche from 1969 and went scouting for Pontiac ads. Here's a few that I copied:

Remember when the new model introductions meant something?

I was hoping to see the dealer advertising special models on the lot but I guess with Lloyd Hall being a small dealer, he opted to use the corporate ads. There was also nothing on Beaumont or Acadian or I would have copied those as well. Next time I go to London I'll scan the Free Press archives for some cool big block cars for sale at London Motor Products.

I think back then when the term "Pontiac" was used in ads, it was assumed the full size models only.
