New Car Saturday Goes On Display In Showrooms Of Nance Chevrolet Co., On Sunset Avenue. Nearly 100,000 people are back ac work as the result of the introduct-. ion of the new Chevrolet which goes ! ou display here Saturday at the sales- ' worn of Nance Chevrolet Co. R. E. glance, president, announced today.1 This force finds employment in do- j mestic Chevrolet plants, and in the Pieher Body, planfa-.^iph manufact-! ore bodies for the Chevrolet line, Mr. Nance state<l. For four of the past six years, Chevrolet has led in building and sell-1 ing more automobiles than any man- ’ ufacturer and this year they offer a car which is in keeping with their po sition of first place in the automobile industry. The extensive improve ments made in the new car, Mr. Nance continued, are possible because in Chevrolet’s position of leadership the company enjoys the tremendous advantage of bulk purchasing power which means the ability to buy the finest materials at the lowest cost and, in turn pass this saving on to the automobile buyer. According to Mr. Nance, this new car incorporates 192 improvements. A longer wheelbase, a more power ful six-cylinder engine, an entirely new body styling which reflects the master craftsmanship of bodies by Fisher, and new skirted fenders which conceal all the under parts of the car are just a few of these many improve ments. Mr. Nance was very emphat ic in pointing out that in spite of the greater power of the engine and the increased size of the car the 1933 Chevrolet is more economical. The new Chevrolet also incorporates what is probably the greatest ad vancement in driving comfort since the advent of the closed body,—the new Fisher No-Draft Ventilation. Mr. Nance has made special arran gements to accommodate the large crowd which he is confident will visit the salesroom on Sunset avenue Sat urday.
