I can only assume that it's a picture of an early tentative ad produced prior to the car's actual production plans (V8 only).
After your other post, I enlarged that photo to study the engines better. They are chevys as best I can tell. Look where the generator mounts. The Pontiac had it on top and on the right side. Those are on the left. Further, I see no exhaust ports below the valve covers, just a manifold. Think they are chev V8s. must be Canadian or export of some sort. That is my best guess. When you get time, check your PMs.
