 The Chevrolet Mctor Company an- peunees a new ear for 1880 known as "The Greatest Chevrolet in Chew rolet History.
 Announcement Of the new car to. day comes right at the close of CheY- rclet's greatest year, for the sensa- tional success of the siX-cylinder Chevrolet, introduced just a year ago resulted in an output of ,B50,- 00G cars this year. breaking by a wide margin all former Chevrolet annual production records.
 New car shipments have been going out to dealers for the past ten days, with deliveries to owners begun Sat urday. The cars went on display Sat urday morning.
 Scores of distinct improvements have been made in the 1850 Chevro- let line the factory announces.
 Larger tires. small wheels, Delco- Loyeioy hydraulic shock absorbers at all four wheels, Fisher slanting non glare w windshield and vastly inn proved four wheel braking system are some of the highlights
 Brakes are of the internal expand ing "articulated shoe type" both front and rear, those on the front wheels having two shoes while those on the rear have four. These brakes, also, are fully enclosed giving per feet protection against water and dirt. The brakes represent an innova- ton not only in the Chevrolet line but in the entire passenger car field.
 The attractive new closed bodies, in n variety of colors. carry the Ia nous Fisher stamp of craftsmanship. Eight models, three of which are new to Chevrolet, comprise the line. or the eight, five are closed cars and three are open. The closed cars are the sedan, coach, coupe, sport coupe and club sedan. The open models are the roadster, sport roadster and phae- ton. The models new to the line this year are the sport coupe, sport road ster and club sedan.
 The six cylinder valve-in-head en- zine introduced q year ago, after four years of research and develop ment has been further improved and refined.
 The result of the efforts of a large group of engineers is a smoother. quieter, more powerful motor. The new engine, fully enclosed. with Il high compression n0n=detonating head. develops fifty horsepower.
 The brake horsepower has been in- creased ever the entire speed range. At 1000 revolutions per minute 24.5 horsepower is developed and the max mum of fifty horsepower IS attained at 2.60O revolutions per minute.
 The oil pump has been increased in capacity and improved in efficiency, while the carburetor has been im- proved in respect to both its aecel- erating pump and jet size. The accel- erating pump has been increased in length and reduced in diameter. This improvement also helps the acceler- ation performance by increasing the duration of the spray.
 The same sturdy iorty-eight pound crankshaft which proved so satisfac- tory during 1929 has been retained.
 The air cleaner has been improved by reversing the position of the in- take slots and providing for a less restricted flow of air.
 The clutch on the new car has been improved by the adoption of an iu- tceral disc, made in one piece of high carbon steel.
 Easier riding aad greater quiet ness are accomplished through a new type of seli-adjusting spring shaekle m which bushings in the spring eyes and brackets are eliminated. thus doing away with wear
 Another improvement bringing about easier riding, is found in the Delco. Lovejoy hydraulic shock ab- sorbers.
 4 new type of gasoline gauge of unusual accuracy is found on the new Chevrolet
 The position of the steering wheel in relation te the seat has been chang ed. making the drivers position much more comfortable The horn button in the center of the wheel has been made more accessible and easier to operate.
 Appearance and riding qualities of the car have been improved through a change in the tire size from a 4.50- 20 to 4.75-19. The rim diameter has been reduced one inch.
 Disc wheels are provided as stand ard equipment on all models except the sport roadster and sport coupe. The wire wheels on these models are equipped with drop center rims and are demountable at the hub. The large wire wheel hubeaps are chrom- ium plated and of beautiful and dis tinetive design.
 Any possibility of the hood rattline has been eliminated through the ad- dition of rubber bumper mounted on the upturned flange of the fender skirt, against which the hood bears.
