SIX t Heasty 's Filling Station You are cordially invited to visit our special display of the new Chevrolet Six arranged in con junction with the great nation wide Spring Showing of General Motors cars. Here, in a price class' that has hitherto been occupied exclu sively by four-cylinder automo- ' biles, you will see displayed a line of beautiful models that bring you every advantage of six-cylinder performance in the price range of the four. Representing four years of test ing and development, the new Chevrolet combines six-cylinder smoothness, six-cylinder reserve power, six-cylinder speed and six-cylinder acceleration. Yet, due to the greatest array of me chanical advancements that Chev-. rolet has ever announced, gives better than twenty miles to the gallon of gasoline with ex tremely low oil consumption. And this amazing six-cylinder performance is matched in im pressiveness by the beautiful new Fisher bodies. Longer, lower and roomier . i . finished in striking new colors ' . .'and offering numerous' outstanding comfort and , convenience fea tures they introduce into the low-price field a new concep tion of luxury, comfort and style. Come in any time this week. We want you to see for yourself that no other car in the world can give you so much at prices within the reach of all. Tht coach s595 7'A .
