Lacking carfare, he chose his leaky old rowboat as a means of transportation. In his excitement he neglected to untie the rowboat rope from the dock. He plied his oars faith fully all night, still se curely tied to the dock. At dawn, a friend spied him and called, "Hi, there, Charlie!" Charlie was visibly shaken. "My, my," he exclaimed. "Who knows me up here in New York?" The hard-pressed proprie tor ot an espresso and folk- music center in Greenwich Village haa just nailed up a sign pro claiming, "No teen-ager admitted unless accompanied by money." The latest Texas-oriented pleasantry concerns the impetuous Dallasite who jumped into a. taxicab at Niagara Falls and said to the driver, "The Texas state capital at Austin and step on it!"

A'cit Ckevellc MahbU Sporl Coupe Now-Chevy spirit in a new kind of car! We built this one to do a lot more than just stand around looking beau tiful. Held its weight down in the 3,000-pound range. Then built four lusty engines for it-two sixes and two V8's-with output all the way up to 220 horses'! And if that combination of modest weight and potent power makes you think this is one frisky car, you've got the right idea. You've also got a car with lots of room for legs, hips, shoulders, hats and luggage. Yet its 115-inch wheelbase keeps it highly maneuverable in traffic and very easy to park. W ith its Full Coil suspension and snug insulation, it s jlit got a ride that reminds you of the Jet-smooth kind the way it muffles noise and cushions you from bumps. . And the fine hand of Body by Kisher craftsmen shows up beneath this one's suave good looks, loo. Just listen to the solid thunk of a door closing or look at the smooth melalwoik.
