' ~ V <*.% ft i p t 1 1 ' ? ??^rf I ?? : III; EARLY IN DECEMBER - | CHEVROLET will present I A NEW CAR-1 of such importance that no person interested in the purchase of a low-priced automobile can afford to disregard it. M IS AMERICA naturally expects big-.-~ things of Chevrolet. For it is Chevrolet that first brought beauty and comfort to the low-price field . . pioneered the six-cylinder engine . . . built the most economical cars, and the most dependable. And it is Chevrolet who has led the world in sales for 4 of the past 6 years.* So each year at this time America looks to the leader to learn what's new in the way of low-priced transportation. And again America's confidence is fully justified. The new Chevrolet^ to appear next month, advances standards in every phase of motoring. Again Chevrolet has broken boldly with the past whereever change means improvement in style, comfort, smoothness, performance, safety, economy, and dependability. Chevrolet engineers have packed this latest of a long line of successful cars with thrill after thrill and advancement after advancement. Fisher body crafts~tften have- taken -advantage of an even j longer wheelbase to contribute coachwork which is unique in the low-price field?including dynamic new styling, and an invention which you will immediately recognize as one of the most fundamental comfort improvements of J__ all time. And the experience gained in the production of more than 8,000,000 cars, together with the marked advantages that naturally accrue to the leader in sales, has made it possible to build the new Chevrolet at a price which ( takes account of today's incomes. j So keep an open mind on the question j of an automobile purchase until you see Chevrolet's Great American Value for J| 1933. And watch for it next month. It will prove to you, beyond a doubt, that ! this is the time to buy a car, and thi? i? the car to buy. . CHEVROLET MOTOR CO., Detroit, Mich.
