A GENERAL MOTORS VALUE
s
%iaia
Illustrated above— Chevrolet Bel Air Sport Coupe
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
few1 great road cars built today!
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 footsure as a cat on a carpet!
And when you heed 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 oh in and highway-test the car that puts more
pleasure and safety in your driving. We’ll be looking for you.
