'64 Jet-smooth Luxury Chevrolet
What does it take to make a car a great high-
way performer?
It the car happens to be a '64 Chevrolet,
one thing only. A highway.
You'll find everything else already neatly
packaged for you—on the car exactly as you
pick it off the showroom floor.
There's a choice of seven engines—all the
way up to a twin-carb high-compression
425-hp V8*~and four transmissions, includ-
ing a finely honed 4-speed stick shift.*
And underlying it all—a bump-skimming
Jet-smooth ride that helps keep
the performance great even when
til* highways aren't so great.
What about special performance equip-
ment? Professional driving skills? Forget
them.
Nobody has to doctor or coax or soup up
these Chevrolets to get the best out of them.
And that's really the test of a great high-
way performer: Just about anyone can get a
kick out of driving one, just about anywhere,
just as it comes out of the showroom.
Next time you're out your dealer's way,
allow a few extra minutes to sample one of
these highway performers on your own. A few
are really all you'll need. That's
enough time to do a lot of driving
in a Chevrolet. •ofiumai i #*ir»
