HIE 1934 line of Chevrolet trucks—truck-built for truck service all the way through—feature the Blue-Flame engine—a great new development that will be welcomed by every truck buyer in America. Here are the remarkable facts: The new Chevrolet trucks are even bigger than last year’s /■- models—bigger in bodies, with stronger, heavier frames, huskier transmission^ and~r^ar axles, and larger brakes,- They will deliver more power. They will haul bigger loads than ever. Yet, thanks to the new Blue-Flame engine, operating costs are actually lower than before—and that means the louest in the hauling field. The net result of all these im provements is a line of trucks like no others on the market—the first to 'offer such a combination of hig capacity, great power and unequalled economy.
