M&wTashForce 57 Chevrolet Trucks 1 Performance-proved in a history-making test on the ALCAN Highway to Alaska Here are the trucks that conquered the ALCAN Highway one of the world's most challenging roads! Six new '57 Chevrolet trucks, heavily loaded with cargo, roared north from Dawson Creek, B. C, through 1,520 miles of mountains and mire, rain and hail every conceivable natural roadblock to Fairbanks, Alaska. Running around the clock, they made this tortuous trip normally a 72-hour run in less than 45 hours. Like a carelessly unwound ribbon, the Alcan Highway twists and reels for 1,520 miles. It tumbles over towering mountains of awesome beauty and wanders through desolate Yukon forests. It's the road where trucks grow old before their time. The road where gravel endlessly sledgehammers the life out of trucks. Where a fog of superfine dust chokes engines, and vicious ruts subject chassis to months of wear in a few hun dred miles. This is the road that was chosen to give the new '57 Chevrolet trucks a supreme test of stamina and performance.The re sults of that test made hauling history! Six new Chevrolet trucks representing light-, medium- and heavy-duty models traveled the length of the Alcan highway in less than 45 hours. But this was no test of speed. It was a measure of the ability of these new Chevrolet trucks to perform under typical conditions on the truck-killing Alcan run. The Chevrolet fleet made . normal stops along the way, and main tained safe and legal speeds. As a special additional test during the run, two of the . trucks went the entire distance without once having their engines stopped! It's all down in the AAA record book. And more besides! Never before has a new truck been so thoroughly proved. Come in and see how well these new Alcan champs measure up to your job. FIRST WITH THE MOST MODERN FEATURES!
