Run your finger over a map and find yourself a place to go.
That’s a preview of how it feels to get there in a Chevrolet.
We’ve put what we think is the best suspension
system in its class under this great highway per
former. A big husky coil spring at each wheel
and double-action shock absorbers to soak up
bumps. Over 700 sound deadeners throughout
the chassis and that spacious Body by Fisher to
blot out noise from road and wind.
There’s a lot of other Jet-smooth luxury, too. tm im
Wide seats with foam-cushioning front and rear. Luxurious
wall-to-wall deep-twist carpeting (this year it comes with
even the lowest priced Biscaynes). A choice of
seven great engines, all precision-balanced for
smoother running, with four smooth-shifting
transmissions to match. Everything that makes
Chevrolet the great highway performer it is.
So get out those road maps. And wherever
you go, get off to a good start—during Trade
’N’ Travel Time at your Chevrolet dealer’s.
