a 50-page plan book and a
20-minute oral presentation on its
advertising campaign for Blue

"Our market research tells us
most graduates need dependable
transportation as they begin their
careers, yet they are hesitant to
attempt to purchase a new vehicle
due to their lack of credit experience,"
said GMAC Chairman
Robert Murphy. "This
GMAC program guarantees
financing even for those who
have little or no job experience,
provided there is no derogatory
credit history."
Graduates can take advantage
of the GMAC College Graduate
Finance Plan through April 30,
1987 by contacting their local
GM dealer. All models of
Chevrolet, Buick, Oldsmobile,
Pontiac, GMC Truck and
Cadillac vehicles are eligible.
