Tuggle group
sees new car
The management of Tuggle
Chevrolet-Olds, Inc. have just
returned from Atlanta, where
they received first details on
the new Chevrolet small car to
be introduced late this summer.
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.
