Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF-
AN OUT-OF-WORK laborer in New Orleans decided to
go North in search of a break. 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!"

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. You'll see what we mean.
Sound good so far? There's more. Like the fact that Chevelle comes
in three series with eleven models convertibles, sport coupes, sedans,
wagons, even Super Sport models with front bucket seats. Like the fact
that (and see if this isn't one of the nicest surprises ol
all) the new Chevelle comes at an easy-lo-take price!
Like to hear more? The listening's wonderful at your
Chevrolet dealer's and so'g the driving.
