Chevrolet trucks
must be the best buy!
This year—for the 12th straight production year
—truck users are buying more Chevrolet trucks ‘
than any other make. That couldn’t be true unless
Chevrolet trucks offered more of what you want.
Already, 1953’s official sales figures tell a remarkable
story of clear-cut and decisive preference for Chev
rolet trucks. But, this is not surprising, for truck users
everywhere are discovering how far ahead of all
others Chevrolet trucks really are.
