SLADESvILLE CLEANUP
BY MRS. ETHEL GIBBS

Saturday afternoon as l rode
into the village of Sladesville was
reminded strongly of the old days
of w. P. A. The Civic Minded Ruri-
tans had gotten together and given
the old school and gymnasium
grounds a good cleaning which is
a very worthy act. If more people
would join the Ruritans and give
a hand to the things they wish to
do for their community, the burden
would be reduced.
The people of the community
should express their appreciation
for the good work this club is do
ing. Let them know their efforts to
make this a better place to live
and raise their families in are ap-
preciated.

tural strength ;. it's welded unit
that is virtually rattle-free.
The ride is fantastic. But to get it
we had to design independent sus-
pension at every wheel; conventional
springing would give compact car
choppy ride. Right now we'll make
one prediction: no other us. compact
car will ride so comfortably, hold the
road SO firmly and handle so beautifully.
Now there are two kinds of cars
from Chevrolet-because it takes two
kinds OF cars to serve Americas needs
today. If you love luxury the utmost
in luxury and if you want generous
interior space, breathtaking perform
ance, automatic drives and power
assists-then the conventional go
Chevrolet may be your choice.
If easy parking, traffic agility and
utmost economy are high on your list
then you should seriously consider
the Corvair. But the best thing to do
is to look these two new cars over at
your Chevrolet dealers take them
out for drive. 1t may be that the
only logical choice for your family
between two cars like this is-both.
They make perfect pair.
The coastland times with which is combined the pilot and herald of Belhaven and Swan Quarter. [volume] (Manteo, N.C.) 1959-1973, 1959-09-25

Why two kinds of cars? Because
America itself has been going through
some big changes in the past few
years. Our cities have been straining
at their seams. Traffic is jam-packed.
Parking space is at premium.
And our suburbs have spread like
wildfre. People are living farther from
their work, driving more miles on
crowded streets. There is new leisure
time-but more things to do. There's
a new standard of living-and more
need for two cars i'm the family garage.
In short, Americas automobile
needs have become so complex that
no one kind of car can satisfy them
completely. That is why we at Chew
rolet, keeping tab on these trends,
have had revolutionary compact car
in the planning stages for more than
nine years.
Thus, when we decided three years
ago to prepare for production of such
a car we were ready to build it the way
it should be built. There was no need
for hasty "crash" program that
would create only a sawed-off version
of conventional car.
That is why the two cars you
will see in your dealers showroom
October 2 will be two entirely
different kinds of cars. One is the
conventional 80 Chevrolet-brand

new spirit under the hood, new

feeling of sumptuousness and luxury
never before attained by any car in its
field. There is great V8 power linked
with new thrift, plus Chevrolet's
superb 6-cylinder engine. 1t is a
traditional car that comes even closer
to perfection-in silence, in room, in
ease of control, in velvety ride-than
any other car we have ever made.
The other is the Corvair, compact
car that is astonishingly different from
anything ever built in this country.
1t has to be-because this is sir-
passenger compact car, with really
remarkable performance car
designed specifically to American
standards of comfort, to American
traffic needs.
The engine is in the rear. Among
the basic advantages resulting from
this engine location are better traction
on compact 108-inch wheelbase and
a practically fiat floor. But to be
placed in the rear, the engine had to
be ultra light and ultra short. So
Corvair's engine is totally new
mostly aluminium and AR cooled; it
weighs about 40 per cent less than
conventional engines. 1t is fiat"
horizontally opposed six-so it is only
three cylinders long y. and that
leaves a lot more room for passengers.
Another weight saving: like modern
airplanes, the Corvair has no frame;
the body-shell supplies it great struc-
