Here’s the car that introduces
a whole new decade of design
—with so much that’s new
and different the other ones
can only hope to come close.
It’s the superlative ’60 Chev-
rolet—with new space in-
side, new spirit under the
hood, new splendor in
every clean-etched line.
Freshly shaped contours rake
back from the unified new
grille to the jaunty rear deck,
fitted with craftsmanship
you’d xpect only on the
most expensive makes. In-

in, room to sit tall in—

This is the one that says ’60 like no other car. From its clean-thrusting grille to its dapper rear
deck, there’s so much that is new and different about this superlative Chevrolet it stands out
from the rest like a fresh-minted coin. And you’ll be just as wide-eyed over what’s inside—the ' •
relaxing roominess, tasteful trim, hushed elegance, all comfortably cradled by Full Coil springs
at all four wheels. Yet, sumptuous as this new Chevy is, you’ll find new economy of operation, new '
dependability, new longer life. Here, then, we’re confident both you and your budget will joyously
agree, is the nearest to perfection a low-priced car ever came!

were re-

postwar period.
The Corvair will be the first
of the new ones into the mark-
et-place, making its public bow
about Oct. 2. The Falcon will go
on sale Oct. 8. The Valiant prob-
ably will be along about Nov. 14.
Engine in Front
Vital statistics have been re-
leased only on the Falcon. These
came Wednesday in a 21-city
closed circuit telecast for news-
men.
The Falcon is 15 feet, one inch
long, against 17-4 for a 1959 Ford;
4 feet, 6 %2 inches high against 4-8
and 5 feet, 10 inches wide against
6-4. It weighs 2,366 pounds, com-
pared with 3,570 pounds for the
lightest 1959 Ford model.
The Corvair will offer Ameri-
ca’s first rear-engined models,
using a flat six-cylinder alumi-
num power plant. Registration
weight on test cars in Michigan
has been 2,400 pounds.
The six-cylinder Falcon en-
gine, of cast iron, is rated at 90
horsepower. The Corvair prob-
ably will be rated slightly more,
as will the Valiant. The Valiant,
like the Falcon, is using a cast
iron six-cylinder engine mounted
in front.
Transmision Types
No prices have been announced.
One report this week said the
cheapest stripped Corvair will
list at just over $1,800. The Fal-
con and Valiant will be in the
same range. But it will cost the
best part of $2,000 to get de-
livery on any one of them by the
time taxes, delivery charges and
a minimum number of acces-
sories are included.
All three will offer automatic
transmissions as well as straight
stick models. But almost none of
the other power options, such as
power steering and brakes, will
be available, at least in the be-
ginning. The Falcon will have
air-conditioning available early
in 1960.
Initial production will be lim-
ited to two and four door models
with no convertibles and no sta-
tion wagons until spring. Falcon
will have a station wagon; the
other two haven’t confirmed

1 Ford claims 30 miles per gal-
' ion performance for the Falcon
with standard transmission and
at least 50 per cent better gas
mileage than any current Ameri-
can car with any transmission.
Front vs. Rear
The sales battle over front-vs.-
rear engine is bound to be a hot
one. Wednesday Ford made these
claims for its front mounting:
1. Safety factor in front-end
collisions.
2. More luggage room in rear
than between front wheels.
3. Stability.
4. Added economy during win-
ter due to use of engine coolant
in the heater.
Ford. engineers say you have
to have a gasoline heater in a car
like a Corvair which has an air-
cooled engine. This heater, they
say, will burn one gallon of fuel
for every nine gallons burned by
the engine. “Free heat” will be
one Falcon sales pitch.
’ Ford estimates the 1960 mar- ’
ket for the Falcon, Corvair and ’
Valiant at 750,000 to 1,000,000
cars. During Wednesday’s new
conference, Ford officials insist-
ed these mainly would be addi-
tional sales and that the big-car
sales division will not suffer.
This also is the view of Gen-
eral M o t o r s’ medium-priced
lines. But American Motors and
Studebaker-Packard, which have
been building the smaller cars,
insist the big cars will have to
bear the brunt of the sales loss.
Car sales for 1959 in the Unit-
ed States are estimated at slight-
ly more than 6,000,000. Of this
figure 600,000 will be imported
cars, most of them small, and I
more than 400,000 will be Ram- j
biers and Studebaker Larks, the I
two domestic smaller cars.
