75 Models in New ,
Line 1955 Trucks
Chevrolet introjjucea a freah ap-
proach to the design of commer-
cial can and truck* In a com-
pletely new line of 1055 models
that will be unveiled at dealer
showrooms, Friday, March 25.

rier.” Exclusive shops have long
sought a •'different" conveyance
that would be in accord with class
merchandise. The low-trim Carrier
making pioneering use of rein-
forced giass fiber panels, aims
at this market.
A reduction in maximum cab
heights, up to seven inches on
brand new "Low-Cab-Forward”
models. Convenience in entering
and leaving the cab is an advan-
tage. Also the lower hood and en-
gine mounting facilitates service.
Greater road-hugging qualities

Powif'r steering ts how available
on all models, as are power

tic transmission is an option on
light —and medium-duties, except
the sedan delivery, which can be
equipped with Powerglide.
the heavy-duty ranks has
railed to an 18,000-pound Gross
Vehicle Weight rating. Another ad-
ded model is a 123-lnch wheelbase
pickup In the light-duty series.
This mounts a 90-inch box com-
pared to 78 inches,on the shorter
truck.
In addition to a V8 boasting the
shortest stroke in the industry,
truck buyers will have their choice
of new 235-and 261-cubic inch 'six
cylinder valve-in-head engines, im-
proved for quieter operation ar.d

swer more cloaely the specialized
demands of modern traffic con-
ditions, company engineers talked
to hundreds of farmers, merchants
manufacturers, cross-country tran-
sporters and the most Important
man in the trucking industry —
the driver. ~“~v-
Recommendations from these
sources were assembled and analy-
zed in Detroit. They played a
dominant part in eventual design.
As a result, Chevrolet states Its
1955 "Task Force Trucks” have
advanced more Impressively in
efficiency and performance than
any previous models. And for the
first lime, says the company,
"trucks combine a. striking ap-
pearance with genuine Utility.”
The presentation at dealer show-
rooms will consist of representa-
tives of 75 models on 15 wheel-
bases in the light, medium and
heavy-duty field. This Is an In-
crease of four wheelbases over
1954 models, which contributed a-
nother year to Chevrolet's record
of consistent sales leadership.
Following are a few of the high-
spots of the 1955 models:
As an answer to the truckers'
desire for "more compact” de-
sign, most1 wheelbases have been
reduced, some as much as eight
inches Restricted parking and
loading facilities of many business-
es make excessive vehicular len-
ghts objectionable, the survey
showed.
Wider panel bodies and a con-
sequent gain in load space.,. The
new width will be particularly
pleasing to truckers handling bulk
loads.

pickup, called the “Cameo Car-

never know when a hobby wilt
pay off in cash. With Mrs. Eleanor
Mead it began after she was 80. |
She had always knitted, which
isn’t unusual. But what was un-
usual was that she never knitted
two articles alike.
As a result, Mrs'. Myad,, who’ll
by 93 in November, has been, eol*
leeting cash for her original pat-
terns for the last dozen years.
National magazines and virtually
every publication which carries
knitting patterns have published
her*,-From- a yarn-company Chr
collected $250 for patterns.
The trouble now is knitting ho
n't hobby for Mrs. Mead any
more. "When it became a busi-
ness. 1 had to have something
else as a hobby,” abe says.
Sgrnow she is collecting buttons.

appreciable gain in window area,
adding up to 36 per cent in visi-
bility and marked in all models
by "sWeep-sight” windshields An-
nother safety feature is the enclo-
sure; of cab steps as a protection
against mud, ice and snow.
Tubeless tires, new to the
truck industry, as standard equip-
ment for light-duties.
As expected, Chevrolet's Inves-
tigation disclosed a broad range
in power preferences. Some users
were chiefly concerned with city
stop-go driving. Others reported
most of their hauls through moun-
tanious territory. To satisfy every
need, the company decided to
present the most extensive variety
of power trains ever undertaken
by Chevrolet. The list covers five
six-cylinder engines and a new
V8 of 145 horsepower.
Among Chevrolet’s seventy-five
new’ models, the most revolution-
ary are the Low-Cab-Forward |
trucks. A reduction of seven inch-
es in height is accompanied by
a lower step to facilitate entrance j
and exit This model carries th
new V8 engine as standard equip-
ment.
Three models are now offered
as forward control units, including
truck contrasts to the 220-Inch
