These things are extra-cost options, of course, but they more than repay you with extra pleasure. Fun is "standard You find that out the first time you take the wheel of a new Chevrolet, Here, you discover, is a car that takes the curves like it's on rails, that steers like it's reading your mind.

It seems simply to ignore bumps and when you stop suddenly, there's no excessive lurching or diving, either. There has never been such a difference in low-priced cars as there is today or so many good reasons why you should drive a new Chevrolet. Come in and take the key. If you're planning to buy a new car, the one you just can't afford to mist seeing is Chevrolet for 19 straight years America's best-selling car. The Motoramic Chevrolet offers you so much more than the other low-priced cars that it's hardly fair to compare them.

And even the high-priced cars don't have all the advantages that today's Chevrolet offers you. The beauty's built in not bolted on! And that makes a big difference not only in how your car looks today, but in how it will look tomorrow, too. Chevrolet's good looks spring from fine, clean, uncluttered design. The beauty is inherent in the basic contours of metal and glass. There's no excessive boltcd-on ornamentation to go out of style overnight and develops the highest power per pound of any V8 in the low-price field.

It takes valve-in-head leadership like Chevrolet's to bring you truly modern engines like thesel A drive to suit your driving! You can take your choice of three different drives and every one's as modern as this minute. There's silky, peppery Powerglide, new Overdrive (both extra-cost options), and a new Synchro-Mesh transmission that's as smooth as they come. All the power helpers you want! Windows, scat, steering, brakes all are available with built-in "muscles' to make driving as effortless as you wish. The Body's by Fisher! No other low-priced car has a Body by Fisher but many of the high-priced cars do. That fact alone tells you there must be something extra special about the style, quality and construction of Body by Fisher.

And there is! You can see it, feel it and even hear it when you slam the door. Today's most modern engines! That goes for Chevrolet's new V8 and two new sixes as well. For example, all Chevrolet engines bring you a modern 12-volt electrical system double the voltage of other low-priced This means quicker cold weather starting and a greater electrical reserve. Then Chevrolet's new "Turbo-Fire V8" has the shortest piston stroke in the industry, PAGES FROM THE PAST TEN YEARS AGO the Jackson Kiwanis Club and its origin was the topic of large display copy with Charles H.
