II you're planning 10 buy q new cor,

Moforomic Chevrolet offers you so
much more thon the other Iow-prieed

them. And even the .high-prieed cars
don't have all the advantages fhoi
sodoy's Chevrolet offers you
The beoufy's built in-aoi boIted on!
And that makes big difference-not
only in how your car looks today, but
in how it will look tomorrow, too.
Chevrolet's good looks spring from fine,
clean, unclutteIed design. The beauty
is inherent in the basic contours of
metal and glass. There's no excessive
bolted-on ornamentation to 60 out of
style overnight.

And you can even have air conditioning
if you like. These things are extra-cost

You find that out the first time you
take the wheel of a new Chevrolet.
Here, you discover, is a car that takes
the curves like it's on rails, that steers
like it's reading your mind. Ii seems
simply to ignore bumps-and when you
stop suddenly, there's no excessive
lurching or diving, either. There has
never been such a difference in low
