The "Four-Ninety'!
You'll be surprised how little it costs to
operate this Chevrolet "Four-Ninety' Tour
ing car.
Twenty-five miles on a gallon of gasoline
is not an unusual record. Tires last an unu
sually long time. Repairs are few and far
between. Carefree, regular performance is
the Chevrolet rule.
Yet with all its economy and low
price, Chevrolet "Four-Ninety" Touring Car
is a handsome, roomy, comfortable car a
car you can be proud to own.
