n tete 4WAN Hi fi'P'way to Alaska
Here are the trucks that conquered the Alcan Highway — one of the world's most challenging
roads! Six new '57 Chevrolet trucks, loaded with cargo, roared north from Dawson Creek,
B.C., through 1,520 miles of mountains and mire, rain and hail — every conceivable
natural roadblock — to Fairbanks, Alzsko. Running around the clock, they made this
tortuous trip — normally a 72 -hour run — in less than 45 hours.
Like a carelessly unwound ribbon, the Alcan
Highway twists and reels for 1,520 miles. it
tumbles over towering mountains of awesome
beauty ,Ind wanders through desolate Yukon
forests. A miracle of engineering — but a brutal
challenttc to trucks.
It's the road where trucks grow old before
their time. The road where gravel endlessly
sledgehammers the life out of trucks. Where
a fog of • superfine dust chokes engines, and
vicious ruts subject chassis to months of wear
in a few hundred nines.
This is the road that was chosen to give the
new '57 Chevrolet trucks a supreme test of
stamina, performance and handling ease. The
results of that test made hauling history!
FIRST WIT@ -i THE MOST MODERN FEATURES!
New 283 -cubic -inch Taskmaster VS delivers'160 high-torque horsepower. Standard in
Series 1800 and 1700, optional in Series 1300 through 1600 at extra cost. Horsepower ranges

Re 'lutionary Powermatie Transmission! This six -speed automatic, designed specifically for
he.:.,y-utiy hauling, is an e ra-cost option in saries 1600 through W1900 models. Hydra -
Matic is offered in 1300, 1400 and 1500 Series models at extra cost.
New 1957 work -styling gives Chevrolet trucks an even fresher, fleeter appearance. ;here
are three different and distinctive treatments.
Six new Chevrolet trucks — representing •
light-, medium- and heavy-duty models — trav-
elled the length of the Alcan highway in less
than 45 hours. They ran clay and night — but
this was no test of sped. It was a measure of
thc ability of these new Chevrolet trucks to
perform under typical conditions on the truck -
killing Alean run. The Chevrolet fleet made
normal stops along the way, and maintained
safe and legal speeds. As a special additional
test during the run. two of thc trucks went the
entire distance without once having their engines
stopped!
It's all down in the AAA record hook. And
more besides! Never before has a new truck
been so thoroughly proved. Come in and look
over these new Alcan champs!

In used -car slang, a "dog" is
a clunker, a heap—a rolling
wreck. Often these are given
a quickie paint job and sold
to somebody as a "wonderful
bargain."
So it paps to know your dealer.
As a reputable GM dealer,
we don't keep any "dogs.'
We sell only those cars we
,have faith in, those which are
mechanically sound and
worth the time we spend in
making them look as beauti-
ful as they are.
Drop in this week and look
over the sound, stunning,
snappy models we have—and
see what a liberal policy we
sell them with. You'll be glad
to deal with a GM dealer!
