hysterical result. Charlie Ruggles,

CH EVROLET
by the widest margin
in its history
I
True enough, it isn’t news any more to say that Chevrolet
leads the world in automobile sales. People have come to
take that for granted*. But this year there is an important differ-
ence. In the face of the keenest “show-me” market the industry
has ever known, Chevrolet has increased its margin of leader-
ship. In fact, according to the latest available figures, Chev-
rolet alone has sold almost as many cars this year as all the rest
of the low-price field combined I
When a car looms above its field like that, there can’t be any
argument about it. It must be an all-round better buy.
And that’s exactly what Chevrolet offers you.
The bodies are Fisher bodies, and that’s the most famous name
in its field. Famous for styling and luxury. Famous for pio-
neering such revolutionary advancements as the new ventilation
system that lets you make your own weather. Famous for using
the strongest and quietest body construction of the day—solid
steel over a sturdy hardwood frame.* The engine is a valve-in-
head six, and that’s the same basic design that has been breaking
economy and dependability records for year after year. It’s
Cushion-Balanced to blot out vibration. It’s full of snap and
vigor. In fact, it has been called the most efficient engine in
the low-price field. - ,
Then there’s Syncro-Mesh with Silent Second. There’s the
Starterator. There’s Simplified Free Wheeling, the Octane
Selector, long, parallel-mounted springs—more advancements
than we have space to describe, but all of proven value.
What’s more, Chevrolet prices start at $445, and no Chevrolet
is listed above $565!
Already this year, hundreds of thousands of owners have put
this-car through every kind of test, driven it millions of miles, and
proved that it is right! No other car in the world bears such a
recommendation. Don’t guess—buy from the leader.
