There’s even more to Chevrolet styling than meets the eye! This is beauty with a bonus . . . for Chevrolet styling is designed to add safety and eonifort while you drive, and to return greater value when you trade. Truly modern lines are shaped by usefulness. You can see what we mean in the deep crystal curve of Chevrolet s Sweep-Sight windshield ... a dramatic style note, certainly, but one that stems from the need for wider, safer vision. Or take high-set taillights— they add to the impressive length of line ... but they are up where they can be seen for safety’s sake. The smart louvers across the hood aren’t just dec oration . . . they mark the intake for the High-Level ventilation system for cleaner, fresher air. And the whole shape of the body—its lowness, the dipped belt line—is merely a reflection of a lowered center of gravity, the added stability. This is truly functional styling that serves you better every mile, and preserves its value against the distant day when you trade. This is Body by Fisher —another Chevrolet exclusive in the low-price field.
