The wish-I-had-a-Chevy season's here! Summer's in sight.
Horizons are brightening. Vacation plans are percolating.
It's the most! rewarding time of the year to stop by and
talk buy with your Chevrolet dealer. B And why not do
more than just talk? Take a Jet-smooth Chevy out on the
road. That wonderfully gentle ride you'll feel is what we're
so proud of (Full Coil suspension and a chassisful of other
road tamers are responsible). Inspect the advantages of
the finely built Body by Fisher (none can match it in
Chevrolet's field). Look over the full selection of models
and compare the prices (18 Six and V8 Jet-smooth Chevies
are priced below comparable competitive models). So
now you know why more people are buying Chevies than
any other make. Just one other thing check the sweet
trade-in allowance your Chevrolet dealer can offer you
now. See how easy it is to Dlossom out in a new nevruieii
