CHEVROLET'S Knee -Action is of a
very special type. In this construction,
the coil spring, which is the heart of
the mechanism, is safely and solidly
enclosed in a heavy steel housing.
This keeps out dirt and flying stones,
protects the spring from wear, tear and exposure. The
result: a smooth, restful Floating Ride . . . a
bounceless back seat . . . and cotnpletely shock-
proof steering with no annoying shake, shudder or
shimmy when the front wheels meet a bump. Choose
a Chevrolet and make sure you get the safety type of
Knee -Action in your next car.
