FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 1958 THE 1959 CHEVROLET A BIG PACKAGE OF NEW IMPROVEMENTS Spectacular New Cars Now on Display at Dealer's Show room; Price Reduced The spectacular new Chevrolet for 1959 is now on display at Rad Jones Chevrolet Co. in Belhaven. Hassell & Crees Motor Co. in Manteo are now displaying the spectacular new 1959 Chevrolet cars and trucks. A complete styling transforma tion, along with more safety, com fort and performance, is an nounced for the 1959 Chevrolet passenger car line. The cars, displayed at nation wide dealer showings on Thursday, October 16, represent one of the most imaginative designs ever to come from the automobile indus try. In shape, and in detail, the new styling reflects the influence of a space-conscious age. Lines sweep rearward in a virtually level plane. Tops are flatter and visibility is dramatically increased. Appreciably lower, the overall appearance of fleetness in further conveyed by an adroitly sculptured frontal area. "At the rear, hori zontal wings branch out from the center of the deck in a simulation of mobility that might have been conceived on the sands of Cape Canaveral. While the unusual appearance will' draw instant admiration, Chevrolet has not neglected other phases of engineering in its bid to continue the sales popularity registered by the company in 1958. In brief, the new Chevrolet boasts many improvements: A new six-cylinder thrifty engine prom ises ten per cent more mileage; larger braking surfaces; improved transmission; easier steering; im provements in the V-8 motors; greater ornamental distinction; better spring suspension; better and more likeable painting lac quers; improved electrical system, and numerous other improvements. In addition to a bold, fresh de sign, Chevrolet bodies for 1959 excel in comfort and structural unity. An impressive increase in passenger room is exemplified by almost five inches more width in the five and one-half ft. front seat. With 20 per cent greater capacity, the trunk has been in creased up to 32 cubic feet. . Worthy of particular attention in tile new bodies is the introduc tion of a new acrylic lacquer, a nine-step metal finishing process that adds depth to color and re markable luster longevity. Under experiment for several years, the new acrylic body surfaces will not require polishing for as much as three years in normal climates. Extraordinary visibility charac terizes the entire line. Glass now extends higher into roofs and curves farther inward at corners of the body super-structure. Nar row pillars, as well, encourage the feeling of airiness. Typical of in creased vision safety is the 4-door sedan. The windshield alone gets <504.7 square inches of glass more than its last year’s counterpart and total glass area is 1189.5 more than in 1958 sedan models. The overall visibility area has hem increased up to 50 per cent. Among other outstanding styl ing features of the 1959 models: Exclusive exterior and interior treatment gives individuality to each series. For example, the Im palas abound in rich fabrics and trim. Some of the fine car touches in the Impala are deep-pile car peting on closed models, paddle type door release, twin-contact safety horn ring, and extra-long front arm-rests on all sport models. SEVEN-A 4-H MEETING The Seven-A 4-H class has or ganised for the year of 1958-59. Goonty Agent J. L. Rea and Mrs. Fran Cullis, Home Agent, are the 4-H leaders. Ike elected officers are: Presi dent, Camilla Burrus; Vice Presi des*, Alta Midgett; Secretary, Bonnie Davis; Club Reporter, Iva Whidbee; Song leaders, Martha Midgett, Herbert Bliven.

MOTOR MAIDS Safety Scores At the Half By Jeanne Smith, Dodge Safety Consultant TRAFFIC SAFETY is receiv ing “the old college try” these days at many campuses through- out the country. Students at Loras College in Dubuque, lowa, for in stance, have staged several safety demon strations dur ing football games when, as one campus leader put it, “We have a Miss Smith captive audience.” At one game last season, three police squad cars lined up at the goal post during half time to at tract the attention of spectators. An announcement over the loudspeaker informed students that they were about to see the distance it takes to stop a car at various speeds. When a siren sounded teams of students picked up the ends of eight - foot - wide canvas strips piled in front of each car and went into action. For a stopping distance at 20 miles per hour, one strip was pulled out 15 yards—for 40 mph. a strip was pulled to the 50 yard line (150 feet) and for 60 mph. the third strip was pulled the full length of the football field. During another game, fans were surprised to learn at half time that tires, glass area, side view mirrors, etc, on their cars had been safety checked by a team of students during the first half . . . more than 200 cars were inspected in tho stadium parking lot. Another half-time safety fea ture was a driving “roadeo” in front of the grandstand. Tests in cluded straight-line driving, back ing, stopping and parking. Par ticipants were judged by a group of students. FRISCO PERSONALS The Frisco Home Club met at the home of Mrs. U. L. Rollinson Tuesday night at 7:30.
