What's New
in the New Chevrolet Six
When you read what's new in the new Chevrolet
Six, you, too, will agree it's the Great
American Value for 1932.
It is the only low-priced car to offer both Syncro-Mesh and
Free Wheeling in combination. It has engine and chassis
improvements that raise performance to new heights of
power, speed and smoothness, ft provides the finest Fisher
bodies Chevrolet has ever introduced. And it maintains
the same factors of dependability and economy that
have won the approval of millions of Chevrolet owners.
All that has proved to be sound and dependable in the
past, plus all the new advancements given below—at one
of the loivest prices in the market! That's why the new
Chevrolet Sis is the Great Ameiican Value for 1932!
■ w

Silent Syncro-Mesh Transmission
This well-known feature of high-priced cars is the finest
type of transmission ever developed. In the new Chev-
rolet Si*, it brings a new type of handling case and car
control to the low-price field. Syncro-Mesh permits you
to shift gears with marvelous quickness, quietness and
ease. As a safety factor, it is especially valuable. For it
enables you to shift rapidly from high back inlo second,
any time you want to use the engine as a brake.
A Smoother, Improved Six-Cylinder Engine
New experiences await you in the Chevrolet Six — new
thrills in power, pii:k-up, smoothness and speed. For
Chevrolet has introduced many new engine-features that
increase power 20 per cent to 60 horsepower, and make
Chevrolet's built-in six-cylinder smoothness even
smoother. These features include down-draft carbure-
tio'i, a new cylinder head, new manifolding, a counter-
balanced crankshaft and rubber engine mountings.
Simplified Free Wheeling
Chevrolet's Free Wheeling mechanism is a new and
advanced type that is extremely simple in construction.
You may take advantage of its thrills whenever you
want to, by simply pressing a button on the dash.
Thereafter, and until you pull the button out again
you are "in" Free Wheeling. You coast along on
momentum every time your foot is off the accelerator.
And you can shift with magical simplicity and ease.
65 to 70 Miles an Hour with
Faster Acceleration
Vital new features introduced into Chev-
et's six-cylinde. engine enable it to
elop 65 to 70 miles an hour with
tonishing ease, stability and smooth-
ness. And stop-watch tests show an accel-
eration from 0 to 35 miles in 6.7 seconds.
Distinctive New Front-End
App:arance
The new chromium-plated elliptical radi-
ator, built-in radiator grille, double tie-
Uar, trumpet-type horn, and bullet-type
Weadlampu form a front-end ensemble
of arresting beauty, enhanced by new
rectangular, adjustable hood-ports.
Stabilized
Front-End Mounting
An ingenious method of mounting front
fenders, lamps, double tie-bar and radi-
ator securely to the frame —a method ex-
clusive to Chevrolet — stabilizes the w hole
front-end assembly and insures steadiness
when driving over rough roads.
Smart New Fisher Bodies
Chevrolet's new Fisher bodies are the
smartest bodies ever to appear in the
low-price field. Moreover. Fisher crafts-
men have added many new elements of
strength, quietness and solidity to the
wood-and-steel construction. Greater
vision is provided for all occupant*.
And the following Chevrolet features that have icon
the approval of millions of owners: Big, powerful
Four-Wheel Brakes . . . Four Hydraulic Shock
Absorbers . . . Four long Semi-Elliptic Springs . . . Full
Length Frame . . . Insulated Driver's Compartment
Down-Draft Carburetlon
The down-draft carburetor is a big factor
in Chevrolet's greater power, speed and
pick-up. An intake silencer combined with
it assures greater quietness. A heat control
device, operated from the dash, warms up
the engine quickly and provides more
efficient operation in cold weather.
Finger-Touch Front Seat
One of the most interesting conveniences
in the new Fisher bodies is the new type
of adjustable front scat. A touch of the
linger on a lever at the left of the cush-
ions, and you can move the seat to any
desired position. This feature is exclusive
to Chevrolet in the lowest-price field.

day.
Boyd's most memorable ».
zations have been those of r\d n.
He was Gary Cooper's antagonist in
"The Spoilers," and tried to spoil the
romance of Richard Arlen and Mary
Brian in "Gun Smoke." In "The Gang
Buster" he tried to bust things up be-
tween Jack Oakie and Jean Arthur. In
"The Road to Reno" he was the would
bo nemesis of Buddy Rogers and
Peggy Shannon.
In "The False Madonna," Boyd ap-
pears as the master-mind of a gang of
crooks who operate in three conti-
nents, mulcting their victims of millions
of dollars. Kay Francis is seen as one
of the gang, an erstwhile respectable
society woman, beautiful, stylish, well-
mannered. It is when Kay is sent out
as the chief decoy in a scheme to re-
turn the missing mother to a youth
who will inherit a vast fortune that
Boyd's empire of crookerness falls
about his head. For Kay balks at the
deceitfulness of her errand, after she
developes n motherly love for their
youthful intended victim.
It is a fine role for Boyd. He plays
it with strength and compelling con-
viction.
In the cast with Boyd and Miss
Francis are Conway Tearle, as the
lawyer friend of the wealthy heir who
falls in love with Kay; Charles D.
Brown, Broadway comedian, in a com-
edy part; Majorie Gateson, legitimate
stage favorite as Brown's "side-part-
ner" in the comedy department of the
film; John Breeden, young juvenile,
and other capable players.
