t^ie low-price motor car field there’s nothing
that even compares with Chevrolet’s famous 5-mile
ride. Nothing else so smooth and quiet. Nothing so steady and
safe. Nothing so easy and restful. The reason is: No other car at
Chevrolet’s price has any of the vital features pictured below—
not a single one. And without these features, it’s impossible to
equal Chevrolet’s ride! That’s why Chevrolet says so confidently:
