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?

Actually the identical license plate...

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.

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