entirely new conception of "Quality at Low
Cost."
Never before at Chevrolet's amazingly re-
duced prices has any manufacturer provided
so many fine car features, and so many me-
chanical improvements. These are typified
by new bodies by Fisher finished in Duco
colors, full-crown one-piece fenders, bullet-
type lamps, AC oil filter, AC air cleaner,
improved transmission, larger radiator and
many, many others.
You need only to see these supremely beau-

America's greatest industry! You need only
to compare diem with the finest the market
affords to see that they represent the biggest
