1958 Canadian Pontiac Salesmans book - added more pictures

here is a very neat item

it is a pocket sized book that a salesman would have used to write a customers order for a 58 Pontiac

 

It was used by a salesman at Dickson motors in Winnipeg

 

As you can see by the pictures the salesman was working on an order for a 58 Parisienne ( with a 348 but no power steering or brakes ???!!!! - the customer must have been a farmer)

Also would it have been a 348 with a power glide ? - I thought it was the turbo glide with the 348

Anyway a way neat item

 

If anyone wants me to look up more information from this book let me know and I will be glad to help

Quite a look back on how car sales were done before computer

Ed ( the salesman ) was going to make some good points on that parisienne sale

I like the section that trash talks the 57 Plymouth and its tail fins - I wonder how GM described the fins on the 59 chev in its promotional material

Black/white with red interior 348 hardtop....... I'd drive it!

No block heater? Maybe he never winter drove it and it's in a garage somewhere.

I bet I'd be feature car of the month if I found that one in an old garage and dragged it home!

I have the 65 Buick, Pontiac, Acadian book but it doesn't have fabric, carpet, headliner samples like the 58 shown.

Did you read the jab that Pontiac took at Plymouth? They described Plymouth's styling for 1958 as "... A change in the lower grille and removal of the tail lights that used to fit in the ungainly fins just about sums up Plymouths facelift. The result is that its still SUDDENLY 1957! 

FYI, Plymouths 1957 slogan was SUDDENLY ITS 1960.

LOL!
