Lons Distance Truck With
Famed Driver Visits Here
A Chevrolet truck which holds a
world record for sustained and certi-
fied operation — and is stil traver-
sing the highways of the country as
its mileage mounts toward a goal of
100,000 — visited Hebbronville last
week, and behind its wheel was Harry
Hartz, national racing champion of
America some years back and still
one of the best known figures in auto
racing circles.
Since January of 1938 this unit
has been on the highways of three
nations demonstrating safety, econo-
my, long life and depedability, the
fourfold claims made for Chevrolet
commercial cars. More than 91,000
miles of certified operation, sanction-
ed and observed by the American
Automobile Association, were on the
speedometer when the* unit arrived
here.
With Hartz is Stanley Reed, offii-
cial observer for the AAA, who has
accompanted the truck in Canada.
Mexico and every state of the Union.
According to his figures, which are
on file with the AAA contest board
in Washington, D. C., the unit is
still averaging better than 15 mijes
per gallon at an average running
speed of 32.86 miles per hour. These
figures have geen maintained in the
more than 22 months that the truck
has been operating, at a nearly con-
tinuous rate.
Early in the test run, which is
Chevrolet’s third annual safe Driving
Road Test and is known as the Long
Distance Dependability Run, the
truck made a good will trip from
Ottawa, Canadian capital, to Mexico
City, over the famed Pan-American I
Highway. On its return to U. S.,
the unit has visited every state, every
principal city, and has linked coast-
to-eoast many times in ita record-
shattering run.
Prior to the 1938 auto shows, when
1939 models were introduced, the
unit was dismantled and all parts
displayed with AAAfigures showing
virtually no wear, despite the fact
the truck had passed 53,000 miles and
thus broke the 60,000-mile record
for a comparable operation. Re-as-
sembled, the truck again was put on
the highways and in the ensuing year
has almost hit the 100,000-mile mark,
arbitrary goal selected by Chevrolet
officials. The unit passed the 50,000-
mile mark in Washington, near Spok-
ane, almost six months to the dav
after it first took to the road.
The truck is a standard 1 Mr-ton
model, selected at random by AAA
officials from the assembly lines at
Flint, Michigan. It carries a fixed
“payload” of 4,590 pounds.
A feature of the operations thus
far, beyond the Mexican run, was
tse climbing of Pikes PPeak, when
the unit had 52,317 miles on it. The
truck made the climb in time favor-
ably comparable with that required
by the average passenger car, despite
its load. No motor adjustments of
any sort were required to make the
climb, Hartz said.
When the 100,000-mile mark is
hit, the unit will be returned to
Detroit, where AAA officials will
supervise its dis-assembly. Parts will
again be measured for wear and data
on this phase of the operation will be
released by the AAA.

What a blessing the telephone is! You can
speedily summon a doctor in cas,s of illness; you
can chat with friends at leisure; and you can shoo
at your convenience. There is no need to leave
your home during inclement weather, nor when
you are indisposed. The telephone connects you
with the world; when ever you desire to use it as
such. Shop more by phone; it is. opportune and
satisfying.
