Pontiac Power In Action!

Burst of speed imaginable is yours for just a flick of the toe. For passing power that guarantees safety. Now, let's take a look at some demonstrations of this Pontiac power in action. First of all, getaway on the signal. This Pontiac will take off from a dead stop and reach a speed of well, let's see, in 10 seconds. Ready? There's the signal. And there it goes. In 10 seconds, from a dead stop to a speed of 60 mph. And now let's transmit this to distance traveled. Ready, go. 502 ft in 10 seconds. Almost 110th of a mile. This car is going 55 mph. It will drive past a parked 1956 Pontiac. From a dead stop, the Pontiac will catch up and pass it. Let's see how long it takes. Ready? There it goes. And there goes our Pontiac. 4 seconds. 8 seconds. We're pulling up to it. And we've passed it in 12 seconds. But a further test of Pontiac power. The freight car behind this locomotive weighs 47,400 lb. We replace the engine with a 1956 Pontiac. Then add three more freight cars for a total of four freight cars weighing 189,600 lb. There we go. 189,600 lb being pulled by the power car of the year, the 1956 Pontiac. Now, surely you're not going to go around pulling freight cars or even passing or picking up distances at the rates you've just seen demonstrated. But when you're behind the wheel of the 1956 Pontiac, which can do all these things and more, you're driving with the assurance of safety. Your superior Pontiac power gives you a greater margin of it than ever before. Drive it yourself and see. [Music]
