It stands to reason...
Chevrolet trucks
must be the best buy!
Big truck users, small truck users, all truck
users buy more Chevrolet trucks than any other make. It stands
to reason Chevrolet trucks must offer more of what you want.
When you stop to think about it, the best proof of outstanding value in any product is
continued public preference. That’s the way it is with Chevrolet trucks. They’re the top
selling trucks in America today ... for the twelfth straight production year.
This is a mighty important fact to consider before you bujr your next truck. You’ll also
want to consider that, while Chevrolet trucks give you more features you want, it’s the
lowest-priced truck line of all! Come in and talk it over with us.
MORE CHEVROLET TRUCKS IN USE THAN ANY OTHER MAKE!
