NtW U1LVKULL1 GOES ON DISPLAY HERE SATURDAY Hertl<i?d As "Great American Val ue For 1932," Car Boasts Many Cbaafei Chevrolet's new car for 1932 goes on display tomorrow at Dickey Chevrolet Company, Murphy, and other dealer showrooms throughout the nation. Embodying silent syncro-mesh tansmission in combination with sel ective free-wheeling, a twenty per cent increase in power, top speed of 65 to 70 miles an hour, streamlined bodies and a wealth of other new features, the new car remains in the price range of the current series, the lowest at which a Chevrolet has ever sold. Heralded as "The Great American Value for 1932", the car boasts more extensive changes than any annual Chevrolet model since the change over to a ?ix in 1928. Yet changes are mostly refinements over the basic designs of the 1931 car which, from the standpoint of public accept ance, was the most successful in the history of the company, and brought Chevrolet first place in the industry during the highly competitive mar ket of the past twelve months. Practically every proven automot ive feature of recent years is incor- | porated in the new 1932 Chevi*olct, as well as a new "stablished" front end construction eniboided for the first time on any car. Outstanding improvements in the'32 line over last year's models are down-draft car buretion, counter balanced crank shaft. smaller wheels and larger tires, radically changed front end ap pearance, "finger touch" front seat adjustment, cowl ventilator on all models, hood doors instead of louv res, improved clutch and an addition al cross member in the frame. The 21 domestic plants are now busy producing the new line. The stimulus to employment in the Chev rolet orgariiiation, in affiliated Fisher Body plants and among inde pendent suppliers -made ? possible by the introduction of the car, it is con servatively estimated, will add to the earnings of 200,000npeople. Twelve standard body styles are in the line this year ? three open and nine closed Fisher bodies? all in new Duco color combinations and all with smart new featrues. In ad dition, eight models also are avail able with deluxe equipment, making possible individuality of ownership and providing selection from twen ty different types. Of the mechanicel changes, the outstanding one is the new trans mission unit, which is entirely Chev rolet-built and is to combine for the first time in any car the combina tion of syncro-mesh with simplified free wheeling as standard equip ment at no extra cost. Free wheel ing is provided by an over-running clutch, engaged at the discretion of the driver by a control button on the instrument panel. This optional feature enables the driver to utilize the full breaking power of the en gine if he desirres, and to use the free wheeling feature only when tralfic conditions make it desirable. While the wheelbase remains at 109-inches, the car looks longer than last year, lower, speedier and more powerful? promise borne out by the greatly improved power plant. The most strinking change in ex terior appearance is the new front end, which has been completely re designed this year. The new "stabliahed" front end mounting is an important feature of the new car. In conventional mounting the raditor, fenders and headlamps are supported form the sides of the frame, and in driving over rough roads the front end weaves and vibrates. This is annoy ing to occupants of the car and fre quently results in the origin of squeaks t?nd rattles at points of stress. In the new Chevrolet, the fenders, raditor and headlamps are carried ?n a single fender support unit, which is anchored to the center of the front cross-member of the frame. This pivotal anchorage enables the front end to swayN with the body as a unit, thus reducing the annoying weave as well as the possibility of squeaks and rattles developing at Points of stress. The sum-total of changes in the new car make it not only a distinc tive additkn t, o its price class, but a "big car" in appointments and mechanical improvements. From the enthusiastic comment of those who had a preview of the new car, rt fe expected to , rove a worthy stic <*?or to the highly successful lines ?* the past few years.
