A GENERAL MOTORS VALUE
...but it’s the ’56 Chevrolet!
■WM —
it looks
It looks strictly “upper bracket” with its bold new Motor-
amic styling ... its longer, lower hood . . . its proud new
grille that spans the full front end.
But, even beyond its costly appearance, Chevy gives the
high-priced cars a run for their money. For it’s one of the
fevy great, road cars built today I .s
You’ll see what that means when you take one out on the
highway. You’ll feel the added security of Chevrolet’s nailed-
down stability. You’ll thrill at the way it Whistles around
tight turns — as footsurc as a cat on a carpet!
( And when you need a quick sprint for safer passing, or
a power punch to flatten out a hill — you’ve got it! Horse
power hits a new top of 205 in the “Super Turbo-Fire V8”
(an extra-cost option).
So come on in and highway-test the cat that puts rhore
pleasure and safety in your driving. We’ll be looking for you.
