Without disclosing details, Chev-
rolet officials declared that the new
cars would embody the results of 13
years experience and progress in the
building of low priced transporta-
ton. Lessons learned from millions
of miles of testing on the General
Motors proving ground have been
brought to bear the new product,
officials declared. In fact all the
resources of General Motors have
been employed for months to design
and build the car that is heralded to
be by wide margin the greatest
automobile ever offered by Chevro-

across the entire country will assist
through their advertising columns
in broadcasting the announcement,
