1949 Chevrolet
Goes On Display
Here Saturday
A product of three years' develop
ment work and more than a million
miles of engineering research, the
1949 Chevrolet goes on display at
Victory Chevrolet Compan show
rooms here Saturday.
The latest model has been com
pletely restyled. It is lo^er, wider
and more distinctive than any pre
vious series. Not only -does the de
sign introduce superior beauty to
the lowest-priced ranks, but numer
ous body and chases Improvements
promise to add Chevrolet's reputa
tion for comfort, safety and conven
ience.
Two series of cars, the Fleetline
and Styleline, are included with De
Luze treatment an option in most
body types. De "Luxe cars lay in
creased emphasis on. the styling of
fabrics, trim and appointments.
In both styling and performance,
the 1949 series continues the "big
car" aspects that have always been
traditional with Chevrolet. The de
sign is fresh and substantial- look
ing without approaching the ex
treme. Greater comfort is reported
demonstrable my "ruler and by
ride," The rugged six-cylinder, vai
ve-in-head engine remains funda
mentally the same, but refinements
will increase appreciably the' car's
handling ease and owner satisfac*
tlon.
The first impression of the new
cars is one of smart styling, struc
tural strength and generous dimen
sions. The entire passenger compart
ment. has been moved forward, len
gthened, broadened and lowered, af
fording a pleasing *balance of pro
portions.
From the passenger's standpoint
perhaps the chief improvement in
bodies is the immense increase in
glass area.
Another important factor in bet
ter roadabillty is the adoption at the
front and rear of direct double-act
ing shock absorbers, a type that pro
ved itself in wartime service. Front

A new steering geometry will be
found significant by drivers. The
master arm is now -located in the
center of the chassis front end, e
quaiizlng the effort of right and left
turns. The gearshif Is new. Recent
developments in shift linkage caus
ed engineers to substitute the man
ual shift' for the former vacuum
assisted mechanism.
The atmosphere of luxury in the
1949 Chevrolet interiors has. been
heightened by simplified seat con
struction, new fabrics and tasteful
mol&Vigs, panelling and trim.
The world output of major food
products in 1948 was about 6 per,
cent above 1947, and there is Indica
tion of further expansion of food'
crop acreages in 1949, says the Office
of Foreign Agricultural Relations of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture.
