Now you can buy what we modestly believe is
the best little car in the world.
It does everything well.
Everything? Everything.
Vega moves well, stops well, steers well, rides
well, handles well, responds well, passes well, merges
well, travels well, parks well, sits well, wears well,
and is priced well under what you'd expect to pay
for such a totally talented car.
In highway tests, Vega has been getting around
3Q miles to the gallon. Yet unlike your average little
car, ours steps right out when you step on the gas.
The standard engine is a specially designed
140 cubic inch overhead cam four with a lightweight
aluminum alloy block. You can order the optional
engine which has a 2-barrel carburetor and delivers
20 extra horsepower. The brakes are something too..
Discs are standard in the front, new-type drums in
the rear.
The wheelbase is 97 inches. Width: nearly,5 1/2
nice, stable feet. Weight: 2,190 lbs. for the 'standard
sedan. Engine displacement: 140 cubic inches; horse-
power: 90 SAE gross, 80 SAE net. Seating Capacity:
four adults. Turning circle: 33 feet, curb to curb.
-What it all adds up to is a lot of little car.
Three cars and a truck.
Vega turned out so well that we couldn't turn
out just one. So we made four: a sporty little hatch-back coupe shown open and closed in the foreground
below; the sedan, on the right; the Kammback wagon,
on the left; and the little panel express truck, in"
the rear.
You have a. choice of 10 outside and 5 inside
colors plus a pretty fair selection of available options.
September 28th is Opening Days
All Chevrolet dealers across Canada are
handling the Vega, so you, shouldn't have to go very
far to find out more about it.
Chevy's new littler car is open for business.
Look into it.
