New Chevrolet
On Display Friday

Fuel injection and new triple
turbine automatic transmission will
make their debut on the 1857 Chew
rolets to be unveiled Friday across
the nation and locally at the Bob
Williams Chevrolet, Inc. showroom on
North Main street.
Fuel injection will be introduced on
the Corvette engine, a lively new V8
f 2S3-horsepower that is to be avail
able as an option throughout the line
of Chevrolet passenger cars. Also
unveiled for the first time is the new
transmission, known as the Tur-
boglide.
In eye-appeal the 1857 Chevrolets
differ strikingly from the 1856
models. While two and one-half
inches have been added to overall
lengths, the horizontal sweep of new
styling motif gives the impression
that the car is even longer than its
200 inches, All bodies are lower, with
reduction of an inch and half in
height of the cowl and substantial
ly increased windshield areas.
