You can iron it out, fiat as a flounder . . . and easy as whistling! ' Just point one of Chevrolet's special hill-flatteners at it (either the 162-h.p. "Turbo-Fire V8" or the 180-h.p. i'Super Turbo-Fire") . . . and pull the trigger! Barr-r-r-r-o-o-O-O-OOM! Mister, you got you a flat mountain! ... At least it feels flat. For these Chevrolet V8's gobble up the toughest grades you can ladle out. .And holler for mora. They love to climb, because that's just about the only time thi throttle ever comes near the floorboard. And that's a pity. For here are engines that sing as sweetly as a dynamo . . . built to pour out a torrent of pure, vibrationless power. Big-bore V8's with the shortest stroke in the industry, designed to gulp huge breaths of fresh air and transmute it into blazing acceleration. So most of the time they loaf. Even at the speed limit they just dream along, light and easy, as a zephyr, purring out an effortless fraction of their strength. ' . . "... Until an emergency screams "NOW!" . . . until your foot . bangs down and that V8 explodes into action . . . a tornado of fiery concentrated urge that snatches you ahead to safety like the crack of a whiplash! . - An engineer can run his eye over the specifications of these V8's and'instantly understand why they are so hyper-efficient . . . how friction is held so low they need just four quarts of oil instead of the usual five or more . . . how big valves and short manifolds let them "breathe" deeply for maximum power . how the 12-volt electrical systems (exclusive in Chevrolet's field) provide twice the punch for cold-weather starts and faultless high-speed firing. But you don't have to be an engineer to know that these are the sweetest running V8's you ever piloted. Just- come in, slip behind the wheel, point the nose at the nearest bill, and feather the throttle open. These V8's can do their own talking . . . and nobody argues with them! c&wnoi at motoramic Stealing the Thunder from the High-Priced Cars with the Most Modern V8 on the road! and Bartlett Streets (C IEMBCIDMETZ Phono 2-6115 Medford
