What type oi automobile will be the ultimate car. the car of the tu- or short: what kind of power mu it have and what other mechanical features will it embrace? The public itself will decide this question. The motor car indu,ry for some time past has had its 'ear to the ground" in an sitort to de- terminc owner sentiment for‘ the public after all is the “boss'ot the automobile Industry The automo- bile manufacturer today is aware that the family council is the decid- lng factor which passes with impar- tiai Judgment on the product after it has left the handsoof engineers and designers and that With 19.616.- 063 cars now in the hands of own- ers in America. the average buyer knows pretty definitely what should be expected of the motor car build- er. Among the leaders of the industry who see a growing demand for a car of short wheel-base. is C. W. Nashu president»! the Nash and Max Blo- .tors companies. Mr Nash has backed his iudgment by the pur- chase and equipment of a large an. tomobile factory where since last spring he has produced over 12.000 Ajax cars at the type in which he believes there is the greatest grow- ing interest. “Public [s nose" “The time has long since past when a motor car builder may arbi- trarily determine Just the kind of a car he would personally like to build. said lllr. Nash. "The public today is virtually the 'boss' for the simple reason that the buyer knows Just what he wants and is quick to reject that which he does not want. “it is my opinion. based upon . careful obscrmiinn. that the car of the future is destined to be rather short in length-swim a wheelbase of say. 108 or no inches: it will be powered with a slavcylinder motor. equipped . with n seven-bearing crankshaft. will have four-wheel brakes and all similar mechanics: features usually identified with"'llu- tomoblles of larger size and higher?‘ price. “Now i do not wish to be under- stood as impiying that all cars of the future will be of that general type and design.

These conditions of traffic congestion are found not only in the larger cities throughout the country. but they exist today in the thousands of smaller cities and towns as well. “Drive down Main Street on a Saturday night in almost any town in the country of 5.000 population or over and observe the congestion and the confusion with respect to ade- quate facilities.

The result is nothing short of a revelation-not alone to veteran Chev- rolet owners but to those accustomed to driving much costlier cars. A TYPE of performance never be- ‘. You may doubt that any car of this type can flash from 5 to 25 rriles an hour in less than eight seconds—but the improved Chevrolet does it! You may question the ability of such a car to idle in silence at 7 miles an hour and to speed along at 40—45—50 without the slightest trace of labor or effort -- but the improved Chevrolet does that! You may assume from past experience ‘ that no low-cost car can combine these brilliant power qualities with Pullman car comfort over roads of every sort-— but that’s what the improved Chevro- let oifers! The blunt truth is that the improved V Chevrolet introduces into the low-pric- ed field exactly. the type of perform— ance that until now has been the chief attraction of owning higher priced cars. Rbmarkable as these improvements age, they have been achieved without any vital changes in Chevrolet’s time-prov- ed design. A new, flexible, 3-point motor suspeni sion makes a notable contribution to smoother, quieter operation. Lighter pistons and pins, accurately balanced, give Ia quickness of throttle response that cannot fail to delight you. A redesigned motor head with larger cooling areas around the valves is re- U" PHONE 1959 sponsible for even greater motor effi- ciency. . The generator is now driven by an end- less V-shaped, silent belt; the oil pump is located in the crankcase so as to in- sure positive, noiseless motor lubrica- tion under all conditions. For con- venient removal, the valve cover has been changed to a one-piece steel stamp- .lng. . Springs of new design on all models, combined with balloon tires, provide pillowy comfort on rutty roads and make long tours a source of genuine pleasure and bodily relaxation. Striking new colors in Duco finish lend a new beauty to all enclosed models; the Coachrin Bloomfield Gray, the Coupe in Arizona Gray. the Sedan in a rich Algerian Blue. The’ new Chev- rolet model, a modish, aristocratic, smartly appointed Landau Sedan, is finished in Arizonia Gray Duco. t t t The improved Chevrolet is now being displayed by Chevrolet dealers every- where. Visit the nearest salesroom. Ask for a ride. Subject the car to the most rigorous test that you can devise. Loaf through traffic. Skim over country roads. Plow through mud and sand. Rush up hills that balk bigger and higher priced cars. ‘ Whether you spend one hour or five at the wheel we' make this emphatic pre- . diction: you will step from the car hav- ing undergone an eitperience the like of which you never dreamed possible in any car of this class, regardless of size, weight, wheel base or price! Long the world’s largest builder of automobiles with modern 3-speed trans- mission, Chevrolet now bids for con- tinu‘cdsuccess with the finest Chevrolet in Chevrolet history!
