Newspaper Page Textnewspaper when your VOLUME 46 — NUMBER 39 Chevrolet Offers Widest Choice of Automobiles in History of Company Chevrolet — virtually certain of setting an all-time sales mark in 19- 63 — intends to continue this suc cess in 1964 by offering the widest choice of automobiles in its history. Introduced in Chevrolet dealerships on Thursday, September 26, will be 43 new models in five distinct sizes. This is ten more models than Chev rolet offered for 1963 and the great est number the division has ever of fered in a single year. Included will be the industry’s on ly all-new car for 1964 — the Che velle. This much discussed combina tion of beauty, quality, performance and distinction is sized between the regular Chevrolet and Chevy 11. All Chevrolet’s five lines of 1964 cars have styling and engineering improvements which — teamed with the increase in models and options — allow the customer to tailor a car to his particular requirements as ne ver before. Following are the highlights of the five members of Chevrolet’s 1964 “family.” REGULAR CHEVROLETS - Ex tensive new styling is evident in the regular Chevrolet line, again stress ing the big car luxury which has made it so popular. A Super Sport series featuring buc ket seats and special interior and ex terior appointments in both a con vertible and sport coupe has been added for 1964, bringing the total models of regular Chevrolets to 15 in four series. Although over-all dimensions are the same as in 1963, the regular Chevrolet has a longer, wider look created by new flowing side lines and a smooth, broader styling of front and rear ends. Crisp, distinctive exterior moldings and interior appointments distinguish between the Super Sport, Impala, Bel Air and Biscayne series. The 1964 Chevrolet models feature new interior trim styling and mater ials, yet retain the built-in comfort, convenience, luxury and durability traditional with Body by Fisher. All of Chevrolet's advanced 119 in ch wheelbase chassis features are continued for 1964, including X-built Safety-Girder frame, Full Coil sus pension, self-adjusting Safety-Master brakes, high capacity electrical sys tem with Delcotron generator and long-life exhaust system. CHEVELLE —Chevrolet’s new au tomobile line for 1964 embodies a distinctive styling and will be offered in 11 models in three series — the top-of-the-line Malibu Super Sport, the Malibu and the 300. Quality and vehicle width are stressed in the front end design which makes use of dual headlights and horizontal grille bars. Side treat ment is clean and a peak line which carries throughout the car gives a look of length. The rear end design accents car width with tail and backup lights at the extreme ends of the rear back panel. A textured molding extends the full width of the car. A special feature of the Chevelle body is the use of curved side win dows to give a lower look. A strik ingly wide instrument panel is part of the distinctive interior styling which includes trim styles and ma terials color-keyed to the new ex terior colors. Built on a 115 inch wheelbase, the chassis is completely new, featur ing a perimeter frame. Front sus pension makes use of coil springs and rear suspension is of the coil spring four link type. CHEVY II — In its third year on the market, the Chevy II continues its popular blend of small car hand ling, roominess, economy and good taste in a total of 6 models in two series — the Nova and the 100 se ries. The basic styling personality of Chevy II is continued in 1964, but there is added beauty through re finements in the grille, side mold ings, emblems and hub caps and more luxurious interiors. CORVAIR — Entering its fifth year, the Corvair will continue its important place in the Chevrolet lineup by appealing to a group of buyers who like something sportier and less conventional in a small car. A Monza Spyder series comprised of a top-of-the-line convertible and club coupe is added for 1964, bring ing te total models to seven in four series — the Monza Spyder, Monza, 700 and 500 series, plus two Green brier Sports Wagons. CORVETTE — America's only sports car — fresh from its most successful year in 1963 — continues the famed design of its two Sting Ray models, the convertible and the sport coupe for 1964. Offering broader appeals to more kinds of buyers, the 1964 Corvette combines the driving and handling enjoyment of a genuine sports car with the luxury and convenience most fine car owners want. Improvements include a full view' rear window on the sport coupe and better noise isolation, improvements in ride, handling and performance on both models. Notify this address changes.

Don't Park Weed Sprayer, Farmers Advised Georgia farmers were advised this week not to park their herbicide sprayers for the winter. James F. Miller, Cooperative Ex tension agronomist at the University of Georgia, reminded them that wild onions w’ill show up in many pas tures after the first frost. “An application of 2, 4-D then, and another early next spring, are the first steps in controlling this pest in North Georgia,” Mr. Miller stated. The weed control specialist said about half the state’s farmers are disappointed over the large number of weeds currently in their pastures. He added that it is too late to do anything about them this year. “They have already set next year’s seed crop, and the weeds will be back with the first warm days in 1964.” Mr. Miller pointed out, however, that late spring and early summer weeds can be controlled. He urged farmers to make their plans now to apply from one-half to one pound of 2, 4-D per acre. The herbicide should be applied between March 15 a n d March 31 in South Georgia, and from late March to mid-April in North Georgia.

Rambler Automobile Is Transformed In Appearance with Full Body Change DETROIT — American Motors this week announced its newest version of the original compact car that touched off major changes in the au tomobile industry. The 1964 Rambler American is wholly transformed in appearance, with its complete body change since the series was introduced in 1950. Its overall length has been increased from 173 to 177 inches, with all of the added inches “going into greater passenger comfort and more usable space and none into overhanging sheet metal,” according to Thomas A. Coupe, vice president of automo tive sales. “For example, hiproom in the rear seat has been increased 12 inches and cargo space in station wagons increased nearly 20 per cent,” Coupe said. “The superior balance in the new design has also resulted in greatly improved riding qualities. “While interior room has been greatly increased through important body changes, the American’s com mon-sense balance in economy and performance continues to be empha sized in the new design,” Coupe said. “The total American concept is a car specifically designed to meet the growing demand for personal trans portation with more convenience and luxury features ” New American features include a new body of advanced single-unit construction; curved glass side win dows; a seven fold increase in gal vanized metal for greater rust re sistance; new front suspension; 33,- Pasture Program To Emphasize Soil Testing Soil testing and following soil test recommendations in the application of lime and fertilizer, which was st re e l in the countywide Soil Fer tiH* • PioTam. will continue to re ceive major emphasis in the Big M Pa t-re Program. County Agent George A Loyd said this week. “Systematic soil sampling of pas b re 'an Is is a must for a successful Big M Pasture Program on any farm in the county,” he declared. He urged all dairymen and beef cattle growers to take soil samples from all their pasture lands this fall and to follow the recommenda tions of reports from these soil tests in buying and applying lime and fer tilizer to these pastures. The county agent emphasized the importance of filling out information sheets for pasture soil samples com pletely so that accurate recommen dations can be made. He pointed out that the farmer should specify the kind of grass grown in a particular pasture as different pasture plants require different kinds and rates of fertilizer. Coastal Bermuda grass, for example, can utilize more nitro gen and potash than common Ber muda.
