Raise that big, impressive Chevrolet hood! The
fine, modem, six-cylinder engine underneath is
one of the chief reasons why Chevrolet continues
to be America’s largest-selling automobile! For
that engine is a six—and only a six, as Chev-
rolet builds it, combines both built-in smooth-
ness and maximum economy. That, engine is
mechanically sound! Three and a half years of
continuous improving, refining, and testing have
made it as nearly perfect as it can be! That
engine is thoroughly proved— Its basic design
and construction have been tested and proved
by billions of miles of service. That engine is
up-to-date in every respect—It develops 60
horsepower—delivers a speed of from 65. to 7q
miles an hour—and accelerates from a standstill to
35 miles an hour in less than 7seconds. Its advan-
tages are yours for as little as $445—Due to
new reduced prices, the new Chevrolet Six ndw'
sells for one of the very lowest prices in the market
