Phone For Your Appointment 253-5566 HOOSIER CARPET and FURNITURE CLEANING 5841 INDIANOLA AVENUE This is the way it's going to be. (Pontine takes the fun of driving seriously.) For years, Pontiac Catalina has looked expensive. It still isn't.

Fact is, the new Pontiac Catalina is priced even closer to those so-called low priced cars. Yet it's as big and roomy as ever. With all of the Wide-Track styling and performance that is typically Pontiac. See that new grille. Striking! Behind it, a new 350-cubic-inch V-8.

And in addition to the hidden wipers (a Pontiac innovation) there's a radio antenna that's out of sight (another innovation from the Wide Track people). Interiors? Plush. Handsome, durable fabric and Morrokide upholstery. Or, if you specify, all Morrokide. Deep, nylon-blend carpeting.

And a wide expanse of heavy padded vinyl dash with rich walnut-grain vinyl accents plus steel beams in the doors for added side impact protection. That's Pontiac Catalina for 1970. See it. Drive it. Price it.

You'll buy it. Your Pontiac dealer's is where it's at.
