' DON DEMPSEY'S Snodgrass Funeral "Chapel WO 3-5022 . . -V! , Why we built two cars for 1960 . . . as different as night and day On October 2 for the first time In Chevrolet's 19-year history you will be able to walk into your dealer's showroom and see two totally different kinds of cars. O One is the conventional 1960 Chevrolet, ' brand new in appearance and more beautifully refined and luxurious Uian you can imagine. The otiier is unlike any car we or anybody else ever built the revolutionary Corvair, with the engine in the rear where it belongs in a compact car. We'd like to tell you why we built two such different cars, how we built them and for whom we built tfiem. ' Why two kinds of cars? Because America itself has been going through some big changes in the past few years. Our cities have been straining at their seams. Traffic is jam-packed. Parking space is at a premium. And our suburbs have spread like wildfire. People are living farther from their work, driving more miles on crowded streets. There is new leisure time bus more things to do. There's a new standard of living and more need for two cars in the family garage. In short, America's automobile needs have become so complex that no one kind of car can satisfy them completely. That is why we at Chev rolet, keeping tab on these trends, have had a revolutionary compact car in the planning stages for more than nine years. Thus, when we decided three yean ago to prepare for production of such a car we were ready to build it the way it should be built. There waa no need for a hasty "crash" program that would create only a sawed -off version of a conventional car. That is why the two can you will ace in your dealer's showroom October 2 will be two entirely different kinds of cars. One is the conventional '60 Chevrolet brand new in beauty, with new space inside, nevf spirit under the hood, new feeling of sumptuousness and luxury never before attained by any car in its field. There is great V8 power linked with new thrift, plus Chevrolet's superb 6-cylinder engine. It is a traditional car that comes even closer to perfection in silence, in room, in ease of control, in velvety ride than any other car we have ever made. The other is the Corvair, a compact car that is astonishingly different from anything ever built in this country. It has to be because -this is a fix passenger compact car, with a really remarkable performance ... a car designed specifically to American standards of comfort, to .American traffic needs. The engine is in the rear. Among the basic advantages resulting from this engine location are better traction on a compact 108-inch wheelbase and practically flat floor. But to be placed in the rear, the engine had to be ultra light and ultra short. So Corvair's engine is totally new mostly aluminum and air cooled; it weighs about 40 per cent less than conventional engines. It k a "flat" horizontally opposed six so it is only three cylinders long ... and that leaves a lot more room for passengers. Another weight saving: like modern airplanes, the Corvair haa no frame; the body-shell supplies it great struc tural strength . . It's a welded unit that is virtually rattle-free. The ride is fantastic. But to get it we had to design independent sas pemion at every wheel; conventional ' springing would give a compact ear choppy ride. Right now we'll roaka one prediction: no other U.S. compact car will ride so comfortably, hold th road so firmly and handle so beautifully. Now there are two kinds of can from Chevrolet because it takes two kinds of cars to serve America's needs today. If you love luxury the utmost in luxury and if you want generous interior space, breath-taking perform ance, automatic drives and power assists then the conventional '60 Chevrolet may be your choice. "' If easy parking, traffic agility and utmost economy are high on your list then you should seriously consider the Corvair. But the best thing to do ' is to look these two new cars over at your Chevrolet dealer's . . . take them out for a drive. It may be that tha only logical choice for your family', between two cars like this) la both. They make a perfect pair.
