1963 Pittsburgh Plate Glass (PPG) advertisement

How will you use glass in 1982’s cars?

We don’t know for sure, but our research scientists have their eyes on the future. Over 500 of them… at our Glass Research Centers… are continually looking for ways to make auto glass stronger, safer, more adaptable to bending, and more resistant to weather and abrasion.

Grueling pressure, temperature and stress tests are made on auto glass so that tomorrow’s cars will meet the most demanding performance, as well as aesthetic requirements. If you wish, our auto glass engineers will be glad to work with you on your current and future automotive engineering projects.

1963 Pontiacs advertisement

Selling 1963 Pontiacs may not be the happiest job on earth…but it comes close!

Maybe selling new Pontiacs isn’t quite as much fun as playing Santa Claus, but the jobs do have a lot in common. Happy people…pleasant surprises…and sparkling new beauty are associated with both. On the other hand, maybe the Pontiac dealer’s job is just a little bit better. After all, his season is so much longer!
