The overall simplicity and massiveness of the new, 1948 Chevrolet is well
shown in this three-quarter view of the Fleetmaster Sport Sedan. Fenders,
hood, body and door panels all blend, and the crease moulding, below the
windows, is wider than that used in previous models. Note the new T-shaped
chrome center bar on the radiator grille.

• WHY, the way electricity comes when you flip a switch!
How quick is a wink? Well, scientists have clocked it
at 1/300th of a second. But electricity arrives 1 / 10.000,000th of a
second after you make that contact.
That's speed! That's service!
And it's not only quick service, it's dependable service, too.
Day and night, summer and winter, around the clock
and calendar, electricity is ready and waiting.
