SiXnew Chevy trucks rolled out of
Dawson Creek, out into the vast,
early morning darkness of the
northwest frontier. Less than as
hours later, all sir roared into Fair
banks with top scores for perform
ance and durability. Here was a
demonstration of the kind of oper-
ating efficiency that cuts hauling
costs right down to bare essentials!
Chevy's short-stroke V8's put on
a power show that turned steep
Yukon grades into gentle slopes.
Everybody on hand, drivers and
AAA officials alike, was amazed
by the performance of the new 283-
cu.-in. Super TaSkmaster VS. This
one took towering climbs with
power to spare! AS special test of
endurance, two of the engines went
all the way without being turned off
once-not even while refueling!

A Powermatic-equipped heavy
weight went the whole 1,520-mile
route in a single forward speed
range! Here's real proof that it
relieves the driver of a load of work
and worry. On downgrades, Pow
ermatic'S built-in retarder saved
wear on service brakes.
Chassis components passed
test of rutted, rough going that
could have shaken the innards out
of lesser truck. Frames and rear
axles withstood hundreds of miles
OF pounding gravel. Chevy's superb
steering and suspension took all the

Alcan stretches.

to prove they can whiz through
the toughest jobs with time-saving,
dollar-Saving efficiency!
