America's Number One Road Car!
Потрясающая рекламная кампания 1957 года, чего только стоят разнообразие сюжетов и количество персонажей на каждом из макетов, какая изящная типографика у слоганов!

А через два года в рекламе Понтиака началась великая эпоха Фитцпатрика и Кауфмана.


Cast an eye over the nimble number that’s giving them all ideas for the years ahead! Take into account a total tally of nearly fourscore first-time features… bright notions like Pontiac’s trend setting accent color styling… and you’ll in a single mile of driving how this husky beauty’s rewriting the book on readability!

Take the wheel and feel the spry response of Pontiac’s all new, deep chested Strato-Streak V-8 engine. Test the hair-trigger reflexes of perfected controls. Then find yourself in a rough stretch of highway and sample the road-paving magic of Level-Line Ride! You won’t blame them for playing follow the leader with this one. Try it… and get a taste of the future today in America’s Number One Road Car!


Not content to leave pilot models as the were on his arrival, Bunkie Knudsen quickly effected the historic removal of “Silver Streak” hood bands and the addition of missle-shaped side trim panels. He then played a catalytic role in bringing heretofore experimental engineering directly to the assembly line. This was accomplished with the help of new key executives. In early September, 1956, Elliot M. “Pete” Estes replaced George Delaney as Pontiac chief engineer. Late the same month John Z. Delorean – recently of Studebaker-Packard – was appointed Director of Advanced Engineering.

General styling features of the 1957 models included the missle-side trim; flatter tail fins; lower hood lines; more massive bumper-grille arrangement; lower horizontal taillights and smaller 14 inch wheels.
