Call it the Tempest Lemans!

Pontiac's new package of punch...posh...and low price! Convertible or Coupe! A couple of fancy, frisky newcomers. Pull the trigger on a fired-up "4". (Standard power: 110, 115, 120 or 140 h.p. Optional at extra cost: 166-horse "4"; 190 h.p. aluminum V-8; four-speed, floor mounted stick shift.) Plush, sports type bucket seats and full carpeting are part of the package. Plenty more. Front engine balanced by rear transmission. Independant suspension at all four wheels. Big 15-inch wheels and tires(at no extra cost). Get the good word from your Pontiac dealer. He's very high on the car and very low on the price.

On many early Pontiac Models Wheel Studs are reverse thread on the drivers side and standard on the passengers side of the vehicle. Pontiac Motor Division tested this system for a couple of years as some sort of safety feature.

To check if your lug studs are reverse threads look for an 'L' stamped in the center of the stud. Previous owners commonly replaced broken studs making them standard threads.

After many folks broke studs trying to remove a lug nut they had no idea was actually reversed Pontiac dropped the silly "Safety Feature"
