THE MARK OF EXCELLENCE
This is the General Motors mark of exce llence that appears on all Pontiac mot or vehicles.

personal mark to identi fy the products of their skills: We are proud of the things we make ,
and we
want our customers to be able to identify them easily and to know that we stand
behind them.
Whenever

sign and engin eering ... and that it has been built with the care and ded i cat ion you
have
come to expect from Pontiac.
Your new 1970 P ontiac meets or exceeds all appli cab le U.S. Federal Motor Vehi cle Safety
Standa rd s. Effectiveness of these safety features can best be continued through regular
ve hicle in spect ion and maintenance.
