Not unheard of in terms of one of the sister divisions...

Yes, exactly Keith - a bit of a ground-breaker at the time.

I'm a little biased, but Pontiac consistently had the best ads of the bunch - certainly not VW ads, but good for advertising in general.

I've posted this before ...

Back in the 60s there was a Mr Norms commercial played on WLS in Chicago -- it was the same theme as the Superman &quot;leadin&quot; ... here it is (the best I can remember)

Faster than a 440 Magnum, more powerful than a street Hemi, can leap wide intersections at a single bound. What described as a small subcompact at a large Chicago dealer fights a never ending battle for street, strip and the interstate … Mr Norms Grand Spalding Dodge.

Commercial played on WLS – talking about Mr Norms 440 powered GSS Dart ..

I prob should explain that I used to work in advertising, and Des still does, hence the opinions of these ads.
