Less than eight months have
elapsed since the first Chevrolet
Six was delivered into the hands
of an owner—and already there
are more than a million six-
cylinder Chevrolets on the
road! And the reasons for this
overwhelming success are easy to
understand.
Into a price field that had hitherto
been occupied exclusively
by four-cylinder cars-
Chevrolet has introduced
a six-cylinder car of amaz-
ing quality and value. Not
only does it offer the
smooth, quiet, velvety
performance of a great
six-cylinder valve-in-head
motor—but, from every
standpoint, It is a finer
automobile than was ever
before thought possible
at such low prices! Its
