It was critically important to look for this feature in any car you were considering while you were still living with Ma and Pa
My first thought too, John, when I read this one.
Sorry, gents. That particular ad is bogus. It got me the first time I saw it too. It's been floating around so long, most folks think it's legit. Here's the image from the '57 Pontiac brochure. The rest look fine.

I stand by my buying criteria checklist......and GOOD DAY to you sir!!!
There were PLENTY of down-right NUTTY "creative" accessories throughout the decades. This one, however, ranks right up there! Simply unbelievable!
Packin` up the old Hupmobile for that family vacation trip to sunny Florida.....wouldn`t Rover be just delighted to make the trip practically alfresco in his DELuxe canvas bag.......a couple C-Clamps from the garage a pair of stout hooks made from Mary`s good hangers.......you`ll wonder at how you have all that leg room back !!!

A recipe for Pooch PTSD if I ever saw one.....but a great threat tool to use on long trips to make the kids behave. "Billy...do we need a little time out in the dog sack...hmmm?" Lol.
If pairs of ABUNDANTLY fragrant grilled hot dogs were being produced in your car,at the rate of 2 dogs every four minutes......you could just open the vent window slightly to "activate" Rover !!!.....it would benefit the entire family to clamp the canine restraining bag down to a running board mounted treadmill with a torque converter mechanism.....imagine crossing the Midwest solely on the strength of two eight-packs of weenies
