reporters that he was summoned
to the embassy because he had

Emile said that he was given
only twenty-five minutes yester-

OThe Rose Chevrolet company,
1876 So. Gratiot avenue, Mount
Clemens Chevrolet dealers, to-
day announced the display of
beautiful new 1912 models
stressing the smartest styling
ever designed for the nations
No. / volume motor car.
AS in past years, the new car
is presented in the Master De-
luxe and Special Deluxe series.
The Fleetline series, introduced
mid-season last year in sedan
only, is represented again by
sedan, known as the Sportmas-
ter, and the new Fleetline six
passenger Aerosedan, said to be
one of the most attractively
styled models in the entire
showing.
FINISHED DETAIL
The same attention to finished
detail that is apparent in the
exterior of the new models is
noted at once inside the car.
Smart styling, fine materials,
and excellent design have pro-
duced the most beautiful and
comfortable interiors that Chew
rolet ever has offered.
Though wheelbase on all
models is unchanging from 104l
remaining at 49," stylists have
set the overall length at
1879" creating a long, low
sleek car that combines sweep
ing lines with generally rug
ged appearance. Complete new
front-end treatment, handled
tremendously, does much to con-
vey an impression of greater size
and increased sturd n e s
throughout.
MASSIVE GRILLE
A new, lower, wider, more
massive grille with its heavier
bars gives an instant impression
of bigness, while the blunter,
deeper hood, front splash shield,
and more widely spaced Sealed
Beam headlights contribute to
that effect. Greater length Is in.
dictated at once by the new
elongated front tenders, which
flow back into the front doors,
swinging with the doors as they
are opened. The new fender
design permits desirable clean,
smooth surfaces. An ingenious
touch is the new foot scraper al
the front running board step pad
created by q triangular exten.
sion of the new tenders.
Because the unusually success.

for 1941 is retained with only
minor refinements for the new

tually the same, assuring the
