A minimum of time was lost in

thus enabling the largest builder
of motor cars in the world to
produce a maximum number of
automobiles for the motoring
public, which is so greatly in
need of new vehicles/

the low-price class.
The re-designed front-end
grille has been changed by the
addition of a modernistic T-shap-
ed, chrome center bar which ex-
tends upward to the base of the
Chevrolet name plate on the top
horizontal grille bar.
The smooth, over-all contours
of the front end and sides of the
car, achieved through omission
of horizontal mouldings on the
hood and side of the body, are
retained in the 1948 models.
Fenders, hood, body and door
panels all blend in form and col-
or, presenting an over-all appear-
ance of simplicity and massive-
ness in the entire car.
A new ornament, simpler in
appearance, highlights the nose

But the- mine superintendent,
Carson, is in league with a ra-

battles Mike at every turn.
A thrilling climax ensues, as
Mike attempts to fly to New York
to prevent his father from sell-
ing the mine, and Carson, at-
tempts to stop him. , •
ahn -Carroll is excellent as
Mike, and invests his r6ie With
