Not maoy frugal ways have I,
When times were middling fair

With cash that I could spare.

Pronounced it worth twice w hat I paid,
He was a shark, and I a ham,
A fish, a brainless gink;

And I've done all the thinking since.

Jig Cut on the

A Famous Model
Improved
The "Four-Ninety" line has been refined and im
proved to supply such finishing touches as were neces
sary to make it a thoroughly balanced, reliable, econ
omical and comfortable motor car.
It means that the Chevrolet "Four-Ninety", al
ways a good car, is a better automobile than ever be
fore. It is better in design, better in construction, better
in detail of finish, better in every way.
It is a car that standsunit head and shoulders above
every other car in its class.
With a powerful valve-in-head motor, standard
selective type transmission, strong rear Axle construc
tion, Timken bearings in front wheels Crevrolet
Model "Four-Ninety" shares the features of some of
the highest-priced cars.
Judged by any standard, the Crevrolet "Four-Ninety"
is a greater automobile value. Therefore, it is of
greater value to you.
And here are the improvements which made Model
"Four-Ninety" a better Chevrolet.
FRONT AXLE
1. New steering knuckle arms have been installed on
the front axle, having a heavier section and made
with a tapered shank for attaching to steering
knuckle.
,2. New steering knuckle with tapered holes, to match
the shank of the new steering knuckle arm have
been installed.
3. King bolts on the front axle have been increased
from 1-2" to 9-16" in diameter.
4. New hard rolled bronze bushings are being used to
accommodate the new king bolts. These bronze
bushings reduce wear and eliminate the necessity
for replacement on account of looseness. .
5. Timken bearings with smooth bore cones are being
used on both inner and outer bearings.
6. Grease cup is now assembled on the steering knuckle
which new construction not only makes it more ac
cessible but assures both upper and lower ends of the
king bolt ample lubrication.
REAR AXLE
1. A new rear axle, in which a spiral bevel ring gear
and pinion is used, is now a part of the construction.
This axle is much stronger and quieter than the old
type of straight tooth construction.
2. A new pinion thrust bearing installation with an
nular bearings has been installed.
Transmission Alignment
1. Engine and transmission are now assembled in a
unit with their connecting members and are drilled
and assembled in a unit jig which gives positive
alignment within 5-1000 of an inch. This alignment
is retained in the hardest kind of service.
Brake Arrangement
1. New emergency hand-brake lever has been installed
with the addition of the hand-brake lever .bracket,
together with re-design of the pull rods and re
arrangement of the brake pedal parts.
This improved construction means longer life and
greater economy of up-keep. Every unit in the Model
"Four-Ninety" is designed for perfect co-ordination
with the powerful valve-in-hcad motor. Every part is
designed for quietness and wear resistance.
