resounding reasons
why you should buy
a new Chevrolet
instead of a new
something else:
1 Higher resale value. Year after year. No other car in Chevrolet’s field gives
you as much back on your initial investment.
4b Deep down value. Exclusives like flush-and-dry rocker panels and an extra
set of fenders keep Chevrolet looking good longer.
3 Smooth, smooth ride. Because of Chevrolet’s computer selected springs,
Full Coil suspension and advanced body mounting system.
ImpreSSlVe styling. The impression is that it’s an expensive car, if you
want to make an impression.
5 Massive interiors. Result? Room to stretch out or to sit tall. Chevrolet
has more front leg room than any other car in its field.
Skle-gUaid beams. Chevrolet puts more' between you and the outside.
Steel beams built into every door.
A finish that lasts. It’s unfortunate other cars in Chevy’s field don’t have
a Magic-Mirror finish because it sure keeps its shine.
8 Exceptional engines. Chevrolet’s standard 350-cubic-inch V 8 runs on
regular fuel Plus there are five more engines available.
9 Hemendous selection. Os colors. Os accessories. Os engines. Os trans
missions. Os fabrics. And of models. There are nine big Chevrolet, alone.
10 Americans favorite. Something a new “something else” can’t claim. If
actions speak louder than words, doesn’t this say something to you?
