House All Day.
First showing of the - new 1039
Chevrolet will be made tomorrow in
the ahowroom of the Rogue River
Chevrolet, In conjunction with the
initial nation-wide display of this
popular low prloed car.
In commenting upon the 11
Chevrolet sales slogan which reads
"Only Chevrolet Gives Bo Much For
So Little," C. M. Hurd, general man
ager of the Rogue River Chevrolet,
remarked, "Car buyers everywhere are
going to get a real surprise when
they see this new Chevrolet. Chevro
let Is offering an almost unbelievable
value a bigger car and the most
beautiful low priced car ever design-
"We cordially Invite everybody in
Medford and vicinity to come In and

From every desirable motor car qual
ity. Including beauty, performance,
economy of operation and safety, the
careful automobile buyer will find
that this car is entirely to his lik
ing," concluded Mr. Hurd. ,
Rogue River Chevrolet's showroom.
specially decorated for their an
nouncement day showing, will be
open tomorrow from 8 a. m. until S
p. m.
The two new Chevrolet aeries, de
signed as the Master DeLuxe and the
Master 85, are offered as embodying
not only distinctive style but an even
finer aggregate of performance, saf
ety and comfort characteristics than
that which made their predecessors
sales leaders In 1938. The two mod
els ... a Master DeLuxe four pas
senger coupe with many distinctive
features, and a Master 86 business
coupe available on both chassis . . .
are added for 1930. the sport coupe
and cabriolet being discontinued.
The major mechanical Improve
ments for 1939 are the new vacuum
gearshift with steering column con
trol, optional on both series at nom
inal extra cost, and the new perfected
Knee-Action riding system on the
Master, DeLuxe. This Improvement
Includes an entirely new Knee-Action
mechanism, triple- tested, precision
built, and tailored as a unit to the
car, to assure maximum riding com
fort over all roads.
The powerplant In both series Is the
H me-proven Chevrolet 85-borsepower
high-compression six-cylinder val vein-head
engine, In which refinements
Introduced In 1938 are continued, and
additional refinements resulting in
greater economy, durability, and ease
of servicing, Incorporated for 1939.
Improvements have been made In the
Ignition and oiling systems, the oar
buretor, , the Intake manifold ther
mostatic control, the harmonic bal
ancer, which Is now floated In rub
ber, and the cooling system, which
. now has self-adjusting permanently
lubricated ball-bearing water pump.
The diaphragm-type Tlptoe-matlc
Clutch Introduced for 1938 la contin
ued with Improvements, chief of
which Is new provision for ventila
tion. Outwardly, the new Chevrolet Is
longer and lower In appearance. This
Is accomplished by the new design of
fenders, wheels, running boards, and
hood, as well as by a new window
treatment. The lower corners of the
latter appear practically square, thus
effecting a continuous straight-line
appearance at tho bottom of the sld
windows.
The hood extends forward from the
cowl In a smooth, unbroken surface,
curving down gracefully at the front
to meet the new radiator grille. The
new construction of the top and side
Rastyled and streamlined, the ruew 1939 Chevrolets also introduce major mechanical
improvements contributing to safety, comfort, and operating ease. They are on dis
play today in Chevrolet Dealers' salesrooms throughout the United States.
panels, from a single piece of sheet
steel without hinged or riveted Joint,
accentuates Its clean-cut sleekness.
New and larger headlamps are cra
dled In the valleya between fender
crowns and -hood, being mounted di
rectly to low pads embossed In the
fenders themselves. The lamps rue
longer, larger In diameter, fartiier
apart and closer to the ground than
In 1938, and their new lenses light
more of the road. The new mounting
makes them less vulnerable to dam
age, and reduces service costs In the
event of excessive damage to fen
ders. Horizontal and vertical ajust
ment of the beam Is simple and pos
itive, being accomplished from out
side, above the fender.
The 1939 wheels are new. They have
four wide spokes Instead of eight
narrower ones, as in 1938, and their
design la flatter. These Is 5-8 Inch
less distance between the tire wall
and the hub cap crown, a feature
which not only accentuates the flat
ness of the wheel but protects the
hub caps from flying gravel and from
marring against high curbs. The cap
la easier to remove, too, Its lock
springs being more flexible.
Cool Fire Fought

Chevrolet's new models, making their public bow today, feature this new body style
which combines utility and beauty. Hinged to the rear-quarter wall behind the front
seats are two opera seats which may be used for passengers or folded against the wall
to make room for luggage. There is also a commodious rear deck
