QOME DAY you will consider buying

Keep in mind these pictures made
from photographs of scenes at General
Motors’ 12.68-acre Proving Ground. A
car wallowing in a sunken road with
water over the hubs . . . a car bucking a
long stretch of cruel bumps and pot­
holes . . . a car straining to reach the top
of a heart-breaking hill . . . a car doing
twists and turns and other acrobatics
that few cars are ever called upon to do.

speed, power, endurance, braking, rid­
