At the business meeting, it was
Quick as a flick of your foot,
this new Chevy changes its
pace for passing. Lightning
acceleration sweeps you out,
around and back in line sec
onds sooner for greater safety.
Passing’s short and sweet in this
lightning-quick Chevrolet. Hair
trigger horsepower that ranges up
to 225 saves you seconds that count
for greater safety.
Os course, you’d expect something
very special in the way of passing
performance from Chevrolet. This is j
the car, you know, that won both
the acceleration and flying mile
events for its class at the NASCAR
Daytona Beach time trials. It’s the
car that covered an almost incred
ible 2,438 miles in 24 hours to hang
up a new competition track record
at Darlington, S. C.
So, when we say that this new
Chevy packs the kind of action that
makes passing safer and driving
happier, the record book backs us
up all the way! Is it any wonder
that more and more people who
used to buy higher priced cars are
changing to Chevrolet? Stop in and
put this beautiful record-breaker
through its paces sometime soon.
America's largest selling car—2 million
more owners than any other make!
