NEW CHEVROLET
a Six in the price range of the four!
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.
