Chevrolet
Offers New
Big Wagons
With two newnine-passenaer sta
tlon wagons and two new four-door
sedans, Chevrolet is presenting in
1956 the largest and most versa
tile line-up of passengers cars In
its history.
The total of 19 bodies In three
series is five more than were
offered at the start of production
in the 1955 model year and nearly
twice the number available 10
years ago.
Particularly outstanding are the
four-door sport sedans introduced
in both the Bel Air and the Two
Ten series.
This model has a lower silhou
ette than the conventional four-door
sedan and the windshield is the
same low height as the sport coupe
which It resembles In exterior and
Interior trim.
Because of its design, the sport
sedan required a completely new
body. Hinge pillar of the rear door
does not extend above the belt line.
In the redesign of the center pil
lar, a new construction was worked
out. Additional strength was ob
tained at the stub pillar with a
reshaped body cross-member that
arches rearward to meet the body
mounts. This model has the same
type of roll-down door windows as
the sport coupe. However, because
of its four-door design, it uses hea
vy rubber weatherstripplng along
the upper edges of doors against
which windows rest when closed.
This feature differs from the win
dow sealing "flippers" in the sport
coupe.
The nine-passenger station wag
ons offer remarkable utility and di
versification in load space and seat
ing arrangements. Available also In
either the Bel Air or Two-Ten ser
ies, these new models have a re
movable three-passenger rear seat.
The Nomad station wagon, put
into production in mld-1955 after
its enthusiastic reception as a
"dream. car" in the GM Motoraina,
and the Two-Ten sport coupe, also
In production since last Summer,
are continued In the 1956 array of
models. .
The 19 models in the three series
are:
One-Fifty Series Two- and four
door sedans, utility sedan and two
door six-passenger station wagon.
Two-Ten Series Two- and four
door sedans, Delray coupe, sport
coupe and sedan; two- and four
door six passenger station wagons
J and four-door nine-passenger sta
llion wagon.
i Bel Air Series Two- and four-
door sedans, sport coupe and sport
sedan, convertible. Nomad station
i'agon and four-door nine-passen-
y. ger station wagon.

ing record with its first steps!
They're taking a close look, too;

its field. You'll find there are 19
new models, including two 4-door

smoother going, more driving fun!
And when you see a model equipped
with a new "Blue-Flame 140," keep
in mind that it's the most powerful
six in Chevrolet's field. Some of our
people will be on hand if you have
questions. See you there. O.K.?
