FIRST
SALES
America buys more Chevrolets than any other
two cars combined. That is America’s way of
laying—“Chevrolet is the most econofhical car we can buy.’*
It stands to reason that, in times like these, only the most eco-
pomical car could earn such overwhelming popularity Motor-
fete want cars that stretch the mileage in a gallon of gat and a
Quart of oil. They want cars that are smooth, fast and powerful
—without the cost and upkeep of needless extra cylinders, extra
rings and pistons, extra valves. They want cars that run for
thousands of miles with scarcely a cent for upkeep or repairs.
And that’3 the kind of car they get in the new Chevrolet Six.
Companies that own big fleets of cars report that Chcvrolets
cost less to run than any other cars on their list. Owners every
where have du^vered the same thing—and they don’t hesitate
to spread the good word. That’s why more and more people go
straight to a Chevrolet dealer when they want, without question,
the most popular and economical car in the world.
