economy in Chevrolet. Its world's cham
pion Valve-in-Head Thrift-Marter engine

many other Big-Car quality features, is
an advantage that is found only in
Chevrolet and higher-priced cars.
You and your family will ride in safety,
thanks to extra-strong Fisher Unisteel

windshield and windows—the unmatched
road-steadiness of the Unitired Knee
