GREEN|NG DISPLAYS
NEW '46 CHEVROLET

New 1916 Chevrolets, sounding
an appealing note in sleek, modern
styling, and e~mbodying the latest
results of ley engineering progress,
are on display today at Greening
Chevrilet company of Laurel.
"The new models mark an out
standing step in Chevrolet's pro-
gress as top producer in the auto
motive industry" said Mr.. Green
ing. "More Chevrolets than any
other motor car were sold in 10
of the II years of prewar automo-
tive production. We are confident
that the new postwar car will once
again be a sales winner.
"One of the mist striking new
features, which gives evidence of
the inherent overall artistry of the
cars, is the completely new front
end treatment, redesigned to en-
phasize the low, modish lines. The
bumper, bumper guards, radiator
parking lamps, hood ornament and
name emblem all present an appear
of new, graceful ruggedness."
Outstanding style distinction is
Immediately apparent in the stun
ming array of color combinations on
the bodies by Fisher for the 1916
Chevrolet. Six different color
schemes are available on all regular
models. A range of three solid
is provided, and in addition,
ultra-smart two-tone hues are avail
able on specification, all in the new
est and most appealing shades.
The 1916 Chevrolet appears in
three lines: the Stylemaster, offer
unusual r~efinements in the low
est price bracket; the Fleetmaster,
further advanced finish ond
appointments and the Fleetline,
most attractively styled model
.hevrole ever has offered.
The first Chevrolet to come from
production lines is the pop
llar Stylemaster sports sedan, a
model which is being
featured in the initial display by
Ireening Chevrolet company. AS
manufacturing conditions and avail
able materials permit, it is planned
broaden production schedules to
include such models as town sedans,
business coupes and other types.

will follow.

be effaced. We carry on only as
debtors to the generous and the

In the United States, millions OF
