New Chevrolet On Display Salnrday Added safety, greater driving ease and fresh re-styling high spot the 1951 Chevrolet which goes on display nationally at deal er showrooms on Saturday, De eember 9. Improvement and changes are featured in both chasis and body These changes range from the “biggest brakes in the low-price field” to extensive design innovct cations that make the oar appear i much longer and lower than any , previous model. The Powerglide automatic transmission, Chevrolet's sensa tional driving advance, has been refined for the latest models, al though remaining fundamentally the same flexible driving control that has already enrolled a quar ter of a million satisfied owners. It will again be optional on De Luxe models only. Fourteen passenger body types are included in the 1951 line. Two and four-door sedans will be available in Styleline and Fleet line series. All sedans and the sport coupe will come in De Luxe or Special trim. A convertible coupe, all-steel station wagon and the Chevrolet Bel Air, which has scored so sensationally in popularity, are exclusively in the De Luxe series. The business coupe Will be available only as a model in the special series. In addition to more luxurious interior treatment Chevrolet is offering a more beautiful and at tractive assortment of colors. The options, which include two two tone combinations, are livelier I than ever. The new "Jumbo Drum” brakes headline the qualities of the car J directed toward safer operation, i Quicker emergency stops are as j sured by a brake which involves | considerable departure from past design. Every brake shoe, fitted with the long-life bonded lining made famous by Chevrolet, is self-energizing in both forward and reverse travel, giving a con sistent. surge-free operation that I will please drivers. New brakes also qualify as an aid to driving ease. Tests show 25 per cent less pedal pressure re quired in stopping at given rates of speed. Better brake seals and I I !

Kadiator grilles have been simple II models introduced by ( he\ rolct as its passenger tied, llio decorative body moulding lowered and <»'• line for 1951. Notable in this picture are the rear fender crowns raised. Models also otter added design improvements which accentuate a longer, | safety. I virtual elimination of the possi bility of brake grabing are other advantages Of almost equal interest among safety features are recessed con trol knobs in (the driver's com partment. All protrusions are now set below the smooth contours of the instrument panel Shielding of the windshield from instrument light reflections is as well provid ed bv a rounded ledge above the panel Subdued lighting of dials for nighttime driving is still an other safety asset Important as it will affect park ing is an increase in steering gear ratio Other points worthy of mention under driving ease are new convenience of controls, re located brake pedals, reduced v i bration through greater torque tube rigidity and a new method of propeller shaft balancing in production Appearance-wise the improve nient is discernible even to a cas ual observer Changes both at the front and rear enhance the im pression of ruggedness and room The radiator grille has been re styled and simplified. The design now consists of three horizontal bars, the lower two extending further across the fenders to form a circular frame for parking lamps. Frontal beauty is addition ally embellished by new bumper guards, emblem and hood ornn ment which names a jet-erafl form. The crown of the rear lenders has been raised to increase the sleek, flowing lines of the body. Fenders now mount the combi nation stop and tail light, with a newly styled trunk I jet ornament and re designed bumper Hoards blending into the overall effect The De Luxe and Special se ries will again be distinctive. K\ teriors of the De Luxe bodies have a greater amount of chrome and stainless steel trim and are distinguishable on the highways by a moulding which starts just above the wheel opening in the front fenders and is extended in to the doors.
