New Car to Be Delivered to
Public Jan. L; to Dealers
Dec. Is

Passing on to the motoring public
the benefits of economies arising
out Of large volume production, the
Chevrolet Motor company is intro
ducing "the outstanding Chevrolet
in the history Of the company-a
six-cylinder automobile in the price
range of the four" according to F.
E. Davis, manager of the Capital
Chevrolet company.
Preparations for the greatest
year in its history are now being
made by the company. Production
of the new car was started last week
and the company's Is giant factories
across the country are turning out
cars to be shipped to dealers by Dec.
Is. Deliveries to the public will be-
gin Jan. /.
Although no definite schedule has
been set for 1929, w. S. knudsen,
president and general manager, de-
clared that production of the new
car would probably exceed 100000
units thereby surprising all former
records.
In its new offering Chevrolet has
retained the valve-in-head principle.
The motor is of the high compress
sion type with a nondetonating head
and develops 30 per cent more pow
err than its predecessor; its accelera-
ton is measurably greater and its
speed has been stepped up to satisfy
maximum requirements. The piston
displacement is 1914 cubic inches.
Despite this improved perform
ance standard, thousands of miles
Of testing under every road and
weather condition at the General
Motors Proving ground in addition
to many cross country runs have
shown that the new automobile en-
CINE will operate with an economy
averaging better than 20 miles to a
gallon of gasoline. This is practi-
cally the same fuel economy enjoy
ed by the owners of the previous
four-cylinder model.
The motor develops 46 horse pow
err at low engine speed and as q re-
suit Of the automatic fabrication of
the valve mechanism the motor is
exceptionally quiet throughout the
entire speed range, according to Of
ficials.
Seven models of passenger cars
and three commercial types COM
prise the line, which according to
General Motors officials, embodies
the greatest dollar value ever Of
fered in an automobile. Included in
the passenger car line are five closed
and two open models. All bodies
this year carry the Fisher stamp of
craftsmanship. The commercial car
line embraces a new and larger
utility truck of one and one-half
ton capacity, a ne, light delivery
chassis, and the sedan delivery.
From an appearance standpoint as
we'll as from inherent design, the
car is completely new with a wide
range of attractive colors and ap-
pointments formerly found only on
the more expensive makes.
Despite the score Of advanced
features, prices remain practically
the same, chiefly as a result Of the
influence Of large volume produce
ton.
Advance showings Of the new
Chevrolet line will be held in lead
ing cities strategically located
throughout the country beginning
Nov. "a and continuing until Dec.
22. First deliveries to purchasers
will be macc Jan. l, 1929.
Speed, acceleration, power and
smoothness, to an unusual degree,
are offered in the new motor. ac-
cording to the heads OF til company.

are listed as follows: Fuel pump
which insures q positive and uniform
supply Of gasoline under all driving
conditions; ,mbusion splash and
wick flow method Of fabrication with

at the bottom Of the crankcase by
