KING-SIZE CAKE
, . ? Considered
the' biggest oate bated amywttt*
Was bated bare to mark the 60th
amndrvensary of the life and Cas
ualty Company. It was more than
18 feet high and weighed more
than 6,000 poiaxfe.
The 540 layers were inemMed
into a scale model of the 31-story
Life and Casualty Tower. Costing
approximately $3,700, it was serv
ed to the people of the city.
Now you see it. Now you don't When a Chevy II does
that kind of disappearing act you know without looking
twice: It's a '64 with a V8 engine.
That's right A full-grown 195-ty> Turbo-Fire V8.*
It's available for the first time this year along with a
choice of three other engines? the standard 4 (in 100
Series sedans), the standard 6 and a new 155
hp 6.* (And all of them maintain their high
spirits on modest amounts of regular gasoline.)
But the changes aren't confined to what
X?Z{
happens when you slip into the driver's seat
There are new styling features like the tasteful grille
design and trim accents, for instance. And the larger self
adjusting Drakes that further reduce upkeep on a car that
already nas a reputation of coming about as dose to
perpetual motion as anything on four wheels can get.
The place to get the full details on the '64
L__ is your Chevrolet dealer's. And after vou've
32 y got them, we hope you'll attend to one further
I detail yourself. Drive it
