from natural disasters.

should learn the warning signals

REAR-ENGINE CORVAIR 95’s-THE TRUCKS THAT BEGAN
WITH 4 WHEELS AND A FRESH IDEA!
Here are high-capacity haulers that offer the most accessible load space you
ever saw. Think of up to 1,900 pounds of whatever you haul riding on a highly
maneuverable 95-inch wheelbase. This design's a beauty. Features 4-wheel
independent suspension, integral body-frame build, thrifty air-cooled rear
engine—all kinds of fresh new ideas about truck efficiency and economy.
TORSION-SPRING CHEVROLETS-WORTH MORE
BECAUSE THEY WORK MORE!

total absence of l-beam shimmy and wheel fight. The driver rides easy, the load's
better protected, tires take less abuse, the whole truck is subjected to far
less damaging road shock and vibration. Efficiency goes up.
