The first ad is from '67. The second ad is for the new '68 RA2. Think Pontiac used the same car for both ads? Blue/blue convert, wood wheel, hood tach, license plate, same rear seat upholstery, cant see marker or lack of, ??? Maybe a shadow here, an airbrush there. '67  '68 June RAII

I don't see the vent windows in the '68 ad. I wonder when airbrushing came into play in the ad world?

Cal The airbrush was used most of the 20th century for ads and propaganda.
