I J K V, jciy- •' % u >* - : ■; THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, SOUTH CAROLINA THURSDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1960 Chevrolet Expects To Continue As Top Seller Of Automobiles In 1961 Chevrolet’s ingenious, rear- powered Corvair blossoms out as a full line of automobiles for 1961. In addition to the three half ton commercial cars previously announced, the company dipcloagd today that the station and sports wagons will join the family at dealer showings of the new mod els Friday, October 7. Thus, the superior riding and performance qualities which the Corvair pioneered in the small car field a year ago will become available to a majority of all transportation requirements. Here is the Corvair line-up for 1961: Passenger cars—Club coupes, four-door sedans and a new Lake- wood Station wagon in the “600” and “700” series plus the deluxe Monza Sport Coupe and the new Greenbriar Sports Wagons. Commercial—Corvan, Rampside and Loadside trucks. In appearance, the latest Cor vair retains its lithe, symmetri cal form. New styling touches and beautified interiors clearly distinguish the models as 1961’s, but the low-slung, appealing pro file remains unchanged. Also untouched are the engin eering fundamentals which have made the Corvair the most talked- about automobile in America. The flat, air cooled engine and trans mission axle combination are con tinued at the rear. Compact body- frame integration lends its spec ial staunchness to all models. The rear-engine mounting proves itself extremely suitable to the Lakewood Station wagon, the GrqpJjrier Sports wagon and the Corvan—the commercial panel van. The absence of a«transmis sion tunnel provides cargo and passenger loading convenience im possible with the conventional small car. The Grenbriar is a totally new forward control vehicle on a 95- inch wheel base. The normal car hood has been eliminated. A f T .11- width driver’s seat mounts over the front wheels. The roomy body will accommodate two additional seats, positioned conventionally or facing each other. For ready accessibility, the Greenbriar is equipped with six doors— one on each side of the driver’s compartment — and dou ble doors at the curb side and at the rear. Side and rear doors open a full 180 degrees. The Lakewood Station Wagon, which like the Greenbriar, houses its six cylinder engine under the flat luggage compartment floor, is built with the same airy super structure that characterizes the larger 1961 Chevrolet Station Wagons. The vehicle is approximately two inches higher than Convair sedans and is equipped with four doors S. E. Cook, 61, Rites Saturday Sidney Eugene Cobk, 61, of 1112 Keroes Ave., died Friday at a Greenville hospital. He was working in Greenville when he was stricken with a heart attack. Mr. Cook was born and reared in the Jolly Street section of Newberry County, a son of the late James P. and Lula Edna Dominick Cook. i He had made his home in New berry for a number of years and was a superintendent for Struc tures, Inc. of Greenville. He was a member of Wightman Metho dist Church of Prosperity and had served on the official board for several terms. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Pauline Penland Cook; one son, and a folding rear seat. Cargo space is surprisingly generous.' With seat down, the enclosed load can reach nearly 6.5 feet in length —in total, the body adds 58 cubic feet of cargo capacity to the 10 cubic feet under the hood. Listed among the optional items is a “perimeter hot air heater” which employs a mixing and blending chamber back of the rear seat and a blower to propel heat forward through ducts to the passenger compartment. Outlets are built near the floor, just for ward of the front seat and be neath the rear seat. The gas-fired heater used in 1960 is also offered as an accessory. Henry Eugene Cook of Newber ry; one daughter, Mrs. Alvip F. Kibler of Newberry; his step mother, Mrs. Ella Cook of Pros perity; two sisters, Mrs. Tom Metts of Prosperity and Mrs. Ar thur Livingston of Newberry; two brothers, Paul Cook of Lees- ville and James Cook of Edge- field; one step-sister, Mrs. Eliza beth Shealy of Prosperity; one step-brother, Virgil Cook of New berry; and three grandchildren. Funeral services were . con ducted Saturday at Wightman Methodist Church in Prosperity by Rev. George Strait. Burial was in Newberry Memorial Gar dens. Active pallbearers were Roy Metts, Jimmy Livingston, Jimmy Cook, Bill Hughes, Mike Penland and Bobby White. Officials of Wightman Methodist Church were honorary escort. Election Ballot JUST TWO TICKETS (From The (Columbia) State) There will be only two tickets on the November 8 presidential ballot in this state. One will carry the names of the electors favoring Nixon and Lodge; the other will carry the names of those favoring Kennedy and Johnson. It is clear cut race between these two slates. Since organization of South Carolina Democrats for Nixon and Lodge, some have wondered if there would be a third ticket carrying the names of eight elec tors. There will not be. The South Carolina Democrats for Nixon and Lodge movement is offering no | ticket of electors but backing thej ticket already announced as fav orable to Nixon a iid Lodge. At the risk of being tedious, we have given the above explanation, repeating for emphasis, for there seems to be an assumption on the part of some that the Democratic group suporting Nixon and Lodge will have a separate ticket. The time for a third slate on the bal lot closed September 8. In 1948 there were three tick ets—one supporting Thurmond and Wright, one for Truman and Bark ley and one for Dewey and Brick- er. In 1952 there were three tickets —one - supporting Stevenson and Sparkman, one for Eisenhower as an Independent under the Cit izens for , Eisenhower program, and the GOP slate in favor of Eis enhower and Nixon. In 1966 there were again three tickets: One was for Eisenhower and Nixon as Republicans, one for Senator Byrd- and Congressman Williams as Independents, and one for the Democratic nominees, Stevenson and Kefauver. But this year, we repeat, there are only two tickets making this the first time in years that it is a straight out race between the no minees of the two parties.
