does not follow. It is in the lead. '

uality.
For this reason, this car receives almost first consider-
atlon from the prospective purchaser.
The originality of Chevrolet construction, the sanity of
Chevrolet mechanism and appearance, indicate a sincerity
of purpose on the part of a maker-Abe purpose to make an
exceptional car. .
The Chevrolet owner is a satisfied owner, for he feels
sure that his purchase represents the fullest eqfivalcnt of
his money.
