I Models and Features of New Chevrolet' 'Six9 9 Line
Four model of "the outstanding Chevrolet of Chevrolet History A Six In the Price Range of the Four" which were announced
this week by the Chevrolet Motor Company. The new 6 cylinder valve-ln-head motor develops 32 per cent more power than its famous
predecessor and all bodies this year bear the famous Fisher stamp of craftsmanship. The driver1 eat of all closed models is adjust,
able. Prices remain approximately the same throughout the line of seven passenger type. Left to right, top, the phaeton and tho
4-door sedan. Center, the new motor and a close-up of the carburetor showing the new accelerating pump. Lower, the convertible lan
dau sedan on which the top rear quarter may be completely folded down, and the roadster with It stylish Fisher Body.
The announcement of a new six
cylinder Chevrolet replacing the
former four-cylinder car with prices
pactically unchanged has created
something of a sensation through
the entire country.
In connection with this announce
ment the statement was made that
the new car would sell at prlceB ap
proximately $200.00 less than any
other six on the market and with
no raise at all In price over the for
mer four-cylinder Chevrolet except
in tha case of the two-door sedan
which has been raised $10.00 and the
convertable landau, which replaces
the Imperial landau and will sell for
$30.00 more than the former sport
job.
There have been rumors of Chev
rolet coming out with a six cylinder
car for several months but the an
nouncement by W. S. Knudscn,
president and general manager of
the Chevrolet Motor company, made
In Detroit on Novmeber 16, was
rendered spectacular by the fact
that this new car was to be sold at
practically no raise In price.
Equipped with a six-cylinder
valve-in-head motor, fully enclosed,
and with a high-compression non
detonating head, the car is said to
have done better than 70 miles an
hour in tests at the General Mo
tors Proving Ground in Milford,
Michigan, and yet, at ordinary
speeds is reported to have given an
economy of better than twenty
miles to the gallon. Because of the
ample power provided in the new
six-cylinder motor, in addition to its
flexibility, it has been posible to
equip the rear axle with a compara
tively high gear ratfo of 3.19 to 1,
which reduces the turn-over of the
motor In comparison to road speeds
without lessening the car's ability
to climb hills and make a quick get
away in trafllc.
The mtoor has a bore of 3 5-16
inches and a stroke of 3 3-4 inches.
The piston displacement is 194 cu
bic niches. On accurate tests In the
General Motors laboratories, this
motor has developed 46 horsepower
at low engine speeds and Is of par
ticularly rugged construction with
a crank shaft weighing 46 pounds.
The car is equipped with an A-C
air cleaner, an automatic fuel pump
which replaces the former vacuum
tank feed, a corbureter with auto
matic accelerating pump and a
special system of automatic lubri
cation for the entire rocker-arm
mechanism and for all valve oper
ating parts.
The lines of the new car are par
ticularly attractive with flat hood
and stream-line effect, making the
car oomparable In appearance with
many cars costing more than twice
as much money. All bodies for the
new Chevrolet Six are of Fisher
craftsmanship and are being finish
ed in most attractive Duco color
schemes. The upholstery on the
enclosed models is particularly at
tractive and of long life.
A feature which will be of special
interest to the driver of the car is
the fact that in all closed models
the front seat Is adjustable, render
ing It possible, to fit the driving po
sition to either tall or short operat
ors. The Instrument board and dash
arrangement is particularly attract
ive and Is of the indirectly-lighted
type, equipped with ammeter, oil
pressure gauge, speedometer, spark
throttle and choke controls and a
motor temperature indicator. While
the wheel base of the car remains
the same as in the former model,
107 inches, the bodies have more
room on the interior and are more
convertible and more elaborately
finished.
The line consists of a roadster, a
phaeton which replaces the former
touring car, the coach or two-door
sedan, the coupe, four-door sedan,
sport cabriolet, convertable landau
which replaces the former Imperial
landau and Includes three commer
cial types in a light delivery chassis,
a one and one-half ton utility truck
and a sedan delivery.
Production of the new car proba
bly will not begin on the Pacific
Coast until about December 10th,
i I m sunny i
although preparations are now un
der way through the readjustment
of machinery and the making of
necessary changes In the production
line made necessary . by the com
plete change In models.
The new cars will be shown on a
progressive basis throughout the
United States between the 24th of
November and the 22nd of Decem
ber in the principal cities of the
United States. Shipments to deal
ers will be made bteween the middle
of December and the first of the
year in such a way that cars will
be in the hands of dealers for dis
play and delivery on or after Janu
ary 1. President Knudsen stated
in his announcement that no cars
would be delivered at retail prior to
January 1. ' ' .
. Dealers who are familiar with the
details of the new car and of its
performance are highly enthused
and predict a volume of sales dur
ing 1929 in excess of the' minimum
estimated production volume sug
gested by Mr. Knudsen in his an
nouncement of a million and one
quarter units during the calendar
year.
Ambulance Chasing
Will Be Eliminated
(From Oregon State Motor Association)
Reports to the Oregon State Mo
tor Association from national head
quarters of the American Automo
bile Association, with which the lo
cal motoring organization is affil
iated, Indicate clearly that a nation
wide campaign is under way to
clean out the vicious practice of
ambulance chasing, now virulent In
many cities and towns throughout
the United States.
Commenting upon the crusade
which the American Automobile
Association has launched to drive
out the scavenging ambulance chas
ers, W. R. McDonald, director of
the local club, declares that "this
is a campaign in which every right
thinking motorist will 'want to join
with all the vigor at his command."
"The Oregon State Motor Asso
ciation stands firmly with national
headquarters of the American Auto
mobile Association in this very
righteous battle against an evil
which has settled Itself upon the
ranks of motordom and which for
years has exacted its heavy toll.
"The ambulance chaser lives off
the misfortune of motorists, and
preys upon their lack of informa
tion or their feeling of helplessness
in time of trouble. A survey by the
A. A. A. has showed, sadly enough,
that there is a lecherous circle made
up of shady lawyers, physicians,
hospital attendants, and even mor
tuary assistants. It is true that
their number is small in comparison
to the great number of honorable
practitioners of these professions,
but the moral of the one rotten ap
ple holds true here as well as any
where else.
Organized motordom, realizing
the extent of the ambulance chas
er's operations, is fighting him tooth
and nail, and late reports from na-

Oregon Turkey Growers
Get Radio Market News
The most up-to-the-minute mar
ket Information ever offered turkey
raisers in this state is being broad
cast daily from KOAC, the radio
station of the Oregon State Agri
cultural college at Corvallis. This
daily service will continue until the
Oregon holiday turkey crop ts mar
keted. KOAC is now on 535 meters.
This phase of a comprehensive
market information servtce being
developed by the extension service
at the college, is obtained daily by
wire direct from the San Francisco
office of the federal bureau of agri
cultural economics. Received at)
the college late In the afternoon as
a summary of supplies and prices
in the leading markets, the reports
are put on the air at 7 o'clock each
evening and again the following
noon. Oregon county agents are
also supplying local market infor
mation for this service.
Other market news and economic
information for farmers is put on
each day except Sunday as a part of
the air through this station at 12:45
the noon broadcast, and again in
tne evening at 7 o ciock. i ne rast
est service now available is being
used to gather these reports, though
it is hoped to have the government
extend a full loop wire service to
the college which would enable the
extension service to give Oregon
farmers equal service with that en
joyed by any in the country.
At present radio telegrams trans
mitted from Washington, D. C. over
signal corps sets to Vancouver,
Wash., are being retransmitted to
Corvallis by the Portland office of
the federal bureau of agricultural
economics. These give current re
ports of wool, prunes, apples, pears
and grain markets. Another wire
report dally gives receipts and
prices of livestock at North Port
land. These wire reports are sup
plemented by -material from other
sources deemed most reliable.
Through continued development
of tnis radio and press market news
service, the extension service of the
college hopes to supply farmers of
the state with information which Is
as prompt and accurate as that now
available to dealers through their
private agencies.
Best results in curing fence posts
are realized when the air is .al
lowed to circulate freely about each
post. Posts which are piled close
together or allowed to lie on the
ground will often decay rather than
cure.

After all, if every man knew about every technical radio
word he'd be a radio expert. Obviously every one cannot
.be that. So we have to be guided by the answers to three
questions: (1) Is it a good radio as judged by performance.
(2) Is it made by a reputable manufacturer. (3) Is it sold by
a reputable dealer. Here's how Radiolas check against these
questions: (1) Performance shows that Radiolas have out
standing tone quality, selectivity and distance. That's all any
radio set can give. (2) Radiolas are made by the Radio
Corporation of America, largest and most successful radio
manufacturers. (3) We can only say that we expect to keep
doing business in this community for many years to come.
We invite you to see and hear the new Radiolas.
