Punch-line to the years hottest power stmy -
Chevrolet Turb o -Fire V8”!
TYPEWRITER

Chronicle’’

There’s only one way you’ll really dis-
cover the hottest power story of the year.
Get aboard a new Chevrolet that packs a
bundle of velvety TNT under the hood—
the new “Turbo-Fire V8”!
For this is the engine (hat’s writing a
whole new chapter in the hook of auto-
mobile performance records. This is the
engine that has stock car timers doing a
“double take” at their slop-watches
wherever experts gather to compare the
abilities of the 1955 cars.
For example, in the recent NASCAR*
stock car competition at Daytona Bearh,
Florida, Chevrolet literally ran away
from every other car in its class—and a
raft of others besides. In (he one-inile
straightaway run for low-priced cars, the
first two places—and six of (he first ten—
went to Chevrolcts. And in acceleration
runs from a standing start against all
comers, Chevrolet beat all other low-
priced cars—and every high-priced car
except one!
What’s behind this blazing perform-
ance? A compact honey of a V8 that
only the world’s leading producer of
valve-in-head engines can build. Chev-
rolet’s new "Turbo-Fire V8” has the
shortest piston stroke in the industry
(that means less piston travel
. . . longer engine life)! And it
delivers the highest power per
pound of any V8 in the low-
priced field. It’s so efficient
that it requires only four quarts
of oil instead of the usual five
... needs less radiator coolant, too.
It’s the most modern V8 under any-
body's hood!
Hut the thing you'll like most is
the wag it puts a new kind of fun in
your driving life. You’re in charge of
162 high-spirited horsepower with the
new “Turbo-Fire Ffi” and if you’re
looking for even more excitement, the
new “Super Turbo-Fire V8" (optional
at extra cost) puts 180 h.p. under
your toe.
3?
SS PACEMAKER
Pick the one you’d rather
have fun with, then come in and
get behind the wheel. You’ll see
why the Motoramic Chevrolet
is showing its heels to every-
one else on the road!
No other low-priced cor has any—
no high-priced car has all—
of these great Chevrolet features!
Body by Fisher—You see it on some of
the highest-priced cars. Nine engine-
drive choices in any model— The great-
est choice going. 12-volt electrical system
—Twice the voltage of other low-priced
cars. Anti-Dive braking—A Chevrolet
exclusive for heads-up stops. Outrigger
rear springs— Wide-spaced for steady
cornering. Ball-Race steering—Turns
on ball bearings. High-Level ventilation
—Cleaner, fresher air. Double-Arch
cowl construction—Extra strength and
safety.
