To prove the durability of Chev-
rolet's radical new Turbo-Thrust
V8,* the tremendous flexibility of
the new Turboglide transmission,*
the incredible smoothness of Full
Coil suspension, we tackled the most
challenging transcontinental road in
the world — the 1,000-mile General
San Martin Highway. To make it
harder, the Automobile Club of
Argentina sealed the hood shut at
Buenos Aires —• no chance to add
oil or water or adjust carburetors
for high altitude.
So the run began — across the
blazing Argentine pampas, into the
ramparts of the forbidding Andes..
Up and up the road climbed, almost
2| miles in the sky! Drivers
gasped for oxygen at 12,572 feet —
but the Turbo-Thrust V8 never
slackened its torrent of power, the
Full Coil springs smothered every
bump, the Turboglide transmission
made play of grades up to 30
percent. Then a plunge to the
Pacific at Valparaiso, Chile, a
quick turn-around and back again.
Time for the round trip: 41 hours
14 minutes — and the engine was
never turned off!
