E. H. Tuggle expressed en thusiasm for the new car, cur rently codenamed XP-887. “The new little Chevrolet is an exciting and positive answer to the demonstrated need for a small, economical, durable, safe, comfortable and well- styled car built in America to American tastes,” he said. Also attending the day-long meeting from Tuggle Chevrolet- Olds, Inc. were James Davis, new car sales manager; Wil- mer Hite, service manager, and E. B. Hawkins, parts man ager. ‘ Chevrolet invited the full management team of our deal ership to the meeting so we can get a fast start on preparations to give maximum sales, service and parts assistance to every customer the day the new little car goes on sale,” Mr. Tuggle said. The Chevrolet dealer said the “little car that does everything well” will come in a full line of four different 2-door models, all with front bucket seats as standard equipment. Offered will be a four-pass enger sedan, a four-passenger hatchback coupe with a fast- back roof line, a four-passenger station wagon and a one-pass enger panel delivery truck. Typical of the technological inno/ations in the new car is its all-new light weight over head cam engine. The four-cy linder engine has a new pre cision die cast aluminum cy linder block and has a husky 140 cubic inch displacement. Chevrolet says the engine de livers a maximum combination of low pollutant emission, fuel economy and performance. Its light weight contributes to the car’s overall stability and ease of handling. Its torque output gives excellent performance on open highways and in traffic, while allowing exceptional fuel economy. The engine develops 90 horse power. There also is a 110 horse power version. Market potential for the new car was also discussed at the meeting attended by the Chevro let dealership management. American interest in the “small car concept” is bigger than economy import sales would indicate, Chevrolet re- seachers reported. “The range of potential buy ers is far greater than char acteristics of strictly small car buyers,” they told the dealers. “We have found interest in this type of car among people of all ages in a variety of income levels, in rural as well as met ropolitan areas in every part of the country.” The study also showed that current foreign car owners are not prejudiced against a small car built in this country if it offers more features and value than the car they own. Over 60 percent said they would con sider buying a domestic small car. By using the most advanced tools and manufacturing tech niques, plus an employe moti vational program to stimulate top workmanship, the new car “is intended to be one of the highest quality cars ever built in this country”, Chevrolet told the dealers.
