Chevrolet is the only car in its price class
offering bodies by Fisher built as only
Fisher can build, and styled as low-priced
cars were never styled before!
Despite the lowness of Chevrolet prices,
there is not 'the slightest compromise in
design, construction or finish. All em
body exactly the principles employed on
the highest priced cars a composite
construction of selected hardwood and
steel. All are finished in beautiful colors
of lustrous, lasting Duco.
Enhancing the inherent beauty of the
bodies themselves are numerous features
of distinction previously considered ex
clusive to the costliest cars features
typified by heavy full-crown, one-piece
fenders and bullet-type headlamps.
Only the economies of Chevrolet's great
volume production make possible, such
quality at Chevrolet prices!
