CHEVROLET ANNOUNCES
.x- 1 ,-x: 'y;' :
/
Bigger, huskier models feature an entirely new engine,
giving increased power on les&iuel than ever!
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.
