Chevrolet shows you some important differences in low-priced cars just by
the look on its face!
Wouldn’t you say that most of the ’57 cars
look good from 50 feet away, but what about
from 50 inches away?
What does a close-up of the grille tell you, for
example? Is it solidly made like the new
Chevrolet grille? Or, in comparison does it
look less rich in design—feel less strong and
solid? Compare the quality and construction
of the bumpers and headlights, the fit of the
chrome trim.
The more closely you look all around the car,
the more clearly you’ll see that Chevrolet has
the edge in the way it’s put together. You’ll
find, for instance, that Chevrolet is the only
car in its field with a lacquer finish . . . that
only Chevrolet Bel Air models give you foam
rubber cushions in front and rear seats as
standard equipment. These are just a few of
the advantages of Body by Fisher. And
Chevrolet, you know, is the only low-priced
car that has a Fisher
Body.
We’ll be glad to give
you a close-up, com
parative look at this
new Chevy any time
you care to come in.
This week, maybe?
Only franchised Chevrolet dealers display this famous trademark
