cause it was real a\ant guard
however-the-hell you spelled
that. Kxrept that he'd read
someplace that all the really
sincere people were going to
Hlg Sur, now; he guess things
were more sincere at Big Sur
than at Monterrey.
It waa maybe a little late to
be a poet. Late in the day anil
late in life. That guy wrote
Thanatopaia when he waa seven
teen and here I am twenty and
can only rhyme Mabel with able.
He went over to the typewriter,
inserted a fresh sheet of paper
and wrote “Good-bye Forever"
on it. Then he lugged the type
writer to the window, let it bal
ance excitedly on the sill for a
moment, and then, with his little
finger, pushed it over.
It smashed, in incredible
beauty, upon the sidewalk below.
Then he went to bed. He felt

thought to himself as he went to
sleep, is no-goetry.

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.
Come in and let us demonstrate that this new Chev
rolet is just as exciting to drive as to look at!
