Watkina Firm To Display
New Chevrolet Friday
? S fh A
More power, an extebgion of the
automatic transmission option to
all cars, and design revisions to
accentuate the low appearance of
the three body series major
features of the 1954 CSfevrolets,
which will go on display at the
Watkins Motor Co. showroom Fri
day.
The latest models, .benefit as
well from restyled Interiors, a
wider choice of colors and color
harmonies and chassis advances to
assure quieter operatityi with in
creased performance, ?_
Power brakes, adding'safety and
driving control, become optional
for the first time in the low-price
field with the introduction. As
still another "first" in-Chevrolet's
market, electric front seat and
window lifts are also available.
This convenience provides passen
ger car comfort through push but
ton control.
Given special prominence in the
presentation of the Bel Air series,
which Chevrolet pioneered as a
luxury line a year agq, An eight
passenger station wagon brings to
five the number of ,Bd) AJr body
types. The company has also an
nounced that convertibles will be
hereafter concentrated in this
series.
Another departure jn the line
up of 13 passenger car models is
the introduction of a utility sedan
in the "150" or lowest priced
series. This body, replacing the
former business coupe, offers an
amazing 54 cubic fedt of storage
space.
Again in 1954 Chevrolets will
be powered by a choice of two
engines, each more powerful and
responsive than its 1953 counter
part. The 115-horsepewex "Blue
Flame" engine is used in gear
shift models. An epgine of 125
horsepower couples with the
Powerglide automatic shift, now
available on all cars, including
the sedan delivery.
Other chassis advances cover
improvements in the clutch of
gearshift models, a lpng?r." deeper
toned and sound deadening muf
fler, and nylon rear spring' inserts
tq eliminate the necessity for lub
rication.
In appearance the 1954 Chevro
lets have a longer, more rugged
look. Designd for a broader, low
er effect, the front bumper has
been curved farther around the
fender. The grille, bumper guards,
parking lamps and hood orna
mentation have been modified to
conform with the new motif. Al
though the brightwork of the in
dividual series profiles remains
much the *bme, design touches at
the rear re-emphasize the distinc
tion of the, line.
Of prime interest are the two
tone interiors of the bodies.
Stylists have taken full advantage
o. new fabrics to combine eye
appeal and practicability. An ex
tensive use of vinyl, an easily
washed material, is apparent. In
the Bel Air series interior fabrics
are nylon-faced cloth and vinyls
while in other series complements
of vinyls and new. modern fabrics
have been worked out.
Nine of the 14 solid exterior col
ors are new. The 13 two-tone com
binations, featuring such partner
ships as ivory and turquoise and
beige and an unusual tan. Total
ing the number of body types and
colors, the customer has 161 selec
tions from which to draw when he
buys a Chevrolet.
The Powerglide automatic trans
mission, now in service on more
than 1,500,000 Chevrolets, is con
tinued with modifications for im
proved high speed acceleration.
The new engine with which Pow
erglide is teamed will boost per
formance. particularly in the
higher speed ranges when emer
gency power may be required for
passing or hill climbing.

How To Select Your Recol
By W. G. ROGERS
Associated Press Arts Editor
THERE ARE TWO general
classifications of phonograph rec
ords. long-hair and low-brow, and
In selecting a gift you pick the
one that fits the person you're giv
ing it to.
More and more every year the
big companies, and the others as
well, are making available not
just the small disk with seven or
eight minutes of music ory it, but
the long-playing disk with as much
as an hour of rgusic, or the al
bum that runs on so long you can't
get it in between your dinertime
and your neighbor's bedtime.
Musical comedies are put on
records, either the "highlights"
or the whole, and so are- opera
and symphony.
For the man with the Broad
way tastes, popular music is the
essential selection. For the man
who likes to go to the Metro
politan Opera or to Carnegie Hall,
you choose the more serious work,
maybe a classic, maybe a modern
composition.
New lists are lang and impres
sive, packed with the names of the
best performers and interpreters,
and the greatest composers in the
history of music.
There are also some new works
by the younger men, and they
merit consideration. They don't
t get onto records so often as their
elders, hut new music is as im
j portapt as old and might mark
you as an especially discriminat
' ing giver.
