coachcraft experience... forty years
of building master bodies for pre-
cision-minded America. To match-
less craftsmanship have been added
the methods and the metals of modem
body engineering. Today, as you
revel in the comfort, the luxury and
the safety of your Chevrolet body by

stand why MORE PEOPLE BUY
CHEVROLETS THAN ANY
