1937 Models Put On Display
Saturday For First Time.
Chevrblet’s new passenge;r cars for
1937, comprising two new" series of
six models each, were intrqduced in
Clinton Saturday at the show rooms
of the Giles Chevrolet company, and
simultaneously throughout the United
States. Mr. Giles stated that more
than 600 persons called during the
day to inspect the new product.
“I am especially impressed,’’ said
Mr., Gil«er“witK the fine tribute own
ers have paid us^ by ordering 1937
cars alrea^.’’
Although the cars are described as
new from bumper to bumper, the
change most obvious outwardly has
to do with body lines. A new treats
ment, described as “diamond crown
speedline styling,”* represents a dis
tinct departure in design, and pro
duces an impression of added fleetness
and grace. T^e chapge, however, goes
