More people drive Chevrolets, according to official nationwide registrations and more people want Chevrolets, according to seven independent nationwide surveys than any other make of car. Your own judgment will tell you that this is because Chevrolet gives more value .. . because it alone offers BIG-CAR QUALITY AT LOWEST COST! As you know, public demand for now 1949 I \\ Chevrciets is at the highest level in all j \\ Chevrolet history. For that reason, we urge Ij \ you to keep your present car in good running condition, pending delivery of your new Chevrolet. Come in, get skilled, depend able service, now and at regula^intervals.
