Here is the weight analysis carried out on
Pontiacs as part of their general routine.

Some of the figures are interesting when
compared with our own. We intend to go further into
the matter as opportunity occurs.

It is interesting to note that the bumpers
weigh 59 lbs and that American weights always include
these, whereas when we quote the weight of one of our
cars they are invariably omitted.
