E’LL put it up to you! There must be plenty
of good reasons why more people buy
Chevrolets than any other car.

curved lines—like cars in the high-price field!
Chevrolet’s Body by Fisher sets the pace
among low-priced cars.
There's the way Chevrolet rides and handles.
The smoothness and big-car comfort of Uni
tized Knee-Action. Bigger brakes—biggest in the
field—for safer, surer stops. Finest no-shift and
standard driving at lowest cost with Power
glide or Synchro-Mesh transmission.
There’s the way Chevrolet saves. Chevrolet
. is the lowest-priced line in the field and the
savings go on and on with low operating costs.
