THE NEWBERRY SUN
Complete New Pontiac Line
jpill Be Unveiled Saturday
New Engineering
Details Included
PONTIAC, Mich.—First of the
General Motors units to announce
new models, the Pontiac Motor Di
vision will unveil its 1953 line of
Dual-Streak Chieftain cars in na
tionwide program of simultaneous
dealer showing on Saturday, Dec.
6, according to Dave Hayes of
Hayes Motor Company, Newberry,
where the new 1953 Pontiac wil be
on display.
For 1953 Pontiac introduces a
completely new line of automobiles
with new roomier bodies, mounted
on longer wheelbase chassis, with
.important improvements incor
porated in styling, riding quali
ties, ease of steering, and equip
ment; and, in the case of the six
cylinder model, substantially in
creased power, Mr. Hayes says.
Featuring the new bodies, which
are immediately distinguishable
from previous models by their
large one piece wrap-around rear
windows, one-piece curved wind
shields, high deck contour, modern
rearfin fender design and com
pletely revised styling of sheet
metal and trim, are new luxurious
and highly practical interiors.
In addition, such engineering
advances as power steering, as op
tional equipment, modified Curve
Control from suspension, ignition
key starting, electronic headlight
dimmers, improved Dual-Range
Hydramatic transmissions, and
other technical developmpents
characterized the new car.
While roomier, the new Pontiacs
are more streamlined than hereto
fore and are characterized by a
marked increase in driver and
passenger vision. Elimination of
the dividing strip on the wind-
’ shield and adoption of one piece
wrap around type rear window has
increased both forward and rear
ward vision by as much as 39 per
cent, eliminating blind spots and
contributing substantially to the
sense of safety and security of
passengers and operator. The use
ful glass area is 254 square inches
more than in previous models with
the new curved glass in wind
shield and rear windows of the
safety type as before.
As a result of the longer whee 1 -
base and new interior dimensions,
two and four door sedans have ap
proximately 2 J/4 inches greater
rear compartment knee room. Also
deeper rear seat cushions and
greater hip room and hat room has
been provided. By repositioning
the accelerator pedal, the engin
eers have provided more leg room
for the driver, which combined
with adjustable front seats, per
mits maximum driver comfort.
A new development adding to
the impressive appearance of the
Interiors of deluxe models is the
rich beaded nylon material which
upholsters the seat cushions and
top of seat backs. This material is
used in conjunction with durable
wool broadcloth and attractive
chrome stripping to provide a new
degree of luxury inside.
One of the distinguished features
of the new models as compared
with previous designs is the well
known “silver streak” which has
now been redesigned to have six
chrome strips, separated into two
groups of three. Between these is
a three inch wide center strip in
body color giving an entirely new
treatment to Pontiac’s distinguish
ed Hallmark. These and a wealth
of details provide marked changes
from an appearances standpoint in
the new models.
Included among the many new
chassis conveniences is an Im
proved hand braking system which
is more postive and easier to oper
ate, a 20 gallon fuel tank giving
increased cruising range ahd a
more compact steering column
with concealed gear control shafts.
The steering wheels are new and
improvements in the steering gear
give easier car control.
Outstanding technical develop
ment in the 1953 Pontiacs, accord
ing to the engineers, is the intro
duction of Curve Control front.
Control front suspension by which
greatly improved steering . and
handling of the car over rough
roads and curves is achieved.
The object of the new Pontiac
front suspension design is to re
duce the camber change due to the
roll or outward thrust of the car
when negotiating a curve. With
this accomplished Improved hand
ling is a definite result.

Sunday's Lesson
1 t>e Lompasnoti oj je*uj
Lesson: Matthew 9: 1-9; 35-38
Golden Text: Matthew 9: 36
T HE COMPASSION of Jesuz la
well set forth in this lesson. We
find Jesus, as he returned from
across the Sea of Galilee to Naza
reth, healing a man suffering from
palsy. The man may have been a
great sinner, for Jesus said to
him: “Thy sins are forgiven.” Dis
sipation may have brought the
man to palsy.
When Jesus spoke thus to the
afflicted man, certain scribes pres
ent accused the Master of blas
phemy; rather they said in their
hearts that Jesus blasphemed. He,
reading their thoughts, declared
that both forgiving sins and heal
ing of body were at his com
mand. And he said to the palsied
man: “Arise and walk.” And the
man arose and departed to his
home.
After this, Jesus made a tour
through Galilee, finding many
eases of need. He taught in the
synagogues, preached the gospel of
the kingdom, and healed men who
were afflicted with divers diseases.
Evidently multitudes attended
upon his ministry, for it is record
ed that when Jesus saw the multi
tudes, he was moved with com
passion on the people. And he said
that the harvest truly was plen
teous but the laborers were few.
This is true today. Let us pray the
Lord of the harvest to send forth
fpVrtT-ors f-'r those who are in need.
