Nova i-Door Station Wagon SPUNKY NEW WAGONS THAT LEAD 10NGER,HAPPIER IMS What a new kick you'll get out of going places in this onel And what a solvent feeling you'll get as the savings on upkeep mount! There's a full line of models, includ ing three wagons. Basically, we've kept Chevy H's liveliness and roominess and easy loading ways. Kept its crisp looks, too (with a bit of freshening here and there). The changes we've made weren't for change's sake, you see but for yours. Just for a sample: the brakes are self-adjusting. The new Delcotron generator gives you more electrical reserve power and helps your battery reach a vigorous old age. The Body by Fisher beauty lasts longer, too; air pushes rain and wash water down through the rocker panels (where most rust begins!) in a clever new flush-and-dry system. The ride is smoother and quieter because of a large number of small improvements we've made. And things are a lot Dlushier inside. Now you've read this far, haven't you? Isn't that good evidence that Chevy II is made for you? The clincher will come when you take the wheel at your Chevrolet dealer s, m t See Jour entirely different kinds of cars of your Chevrolet dealer's . . . Chevrolet, Chevy II, Cortair & Corvette.
