NEW HIBH-ENER8Y ENCO EXTRA BAS0LINE BOOSTS POWER THREE WAYS:
Cleaning Power! Dirt can clog even a new
carburetor in a few months of normal opera-
tion—causing hard starting and rough idling.
Your very first tankful of New Enco Extra will
start to clear away these deposits—in new engines
or old—-to improve power and mileage.
Firing Power! Spark plug and cylinder de-
mm posits can cause misfiring, pre-ignition and
hot spots. New Enco Extra neutralizes these
harmful deposits—to help your engine fire
smoothly, to help preserve the power of new cars
and restore lost power to many older cars.
^ Octane Power! New Enco Extra has the
W high octane that most cars now need for full
smooth performance without knocking.
You’ll get all these extras with New Power-
formula Enco Extra gasoline—it puts a tiger in
your tank! rffypy/tff&tmp/

Your Chevrolet one-stop shopping center is the one
place in town where you’ve got your pick of up to
45 different ways to be a homecoming hero for the
rest of this summer-and for many more after.
Just follow the crowds. You can’t miss it.
Check the display window out for America’s No. 1
automobile, the ’64 Jet-smooth Chevrolet. Any car
this luxurious should have its price examined.
Look for the brand-new young-at-heart, young-in-
price Chevelle-the only car that could come between
Chevrolet and Chevy II.
Look for the fun-loving rear-engine Corvair. It’s
Chevrolet’s answer to leaving summer sand, winter
snow and spring mud right in its tracks.
Look for the thrifty, roomy Chevy II. It’s the per-
fect automobile for summer economy drives.
Look for America’s only true sports car, Corvette.
Test drive the one that turns you on most.
Then start talking price.
It’s the greatest cure-all for
new car fever in the automo-
„ ~. tive world.
