Some of them tell about the unusual gasoline and oil mileage they are getting from the Chevrolet six- cylinder engine. Some praise the way their cars keep running, day after day, month after month, without need for adjustments or repair. Others remark about the low cost of Chevrolet standardizedservice. Stillotherspay tribute to Chevrolet’s remarkably long life. Yet more impressive even than these are the unsolicited reports that come from leading American business firms who use large fleets of Chevrolets. These firms keep daily account of the money spent on their cars in the field. Their records show that Chevrolet costs less Jor gasoline, oil, upkeep and service than any other automobile! And this matchless econ- omy has been achieved with no sacrifice of smooth, quiet, powerful performance—no sacrifice of appearance or comfort—no sacri=- fice of dependability and long life. The reasons for this unusually economical operation are as follows: 1. Efficient Engine Design. Every fea- ture of the Chevrolet motor that affects fuel and oil economy has been the subject of spe- Y cially intensive study and development by Chevrolet engineers. The result is that 20 miles to the gallon of gasoline is a common experience with owners. And the small amount of oil used is equally impressive. 2. Modern Chassis Design. An impor- tant reason for Chevrolet’s day-after-day dependability lies in its modern chassis de- sign. For example: The long, heavy, 152-inch frame supports the body rigidly throughout its length. And Chevrolet’s six- cylinder motor minimizes the wearing vibration 4 Chevrolet’s 152" frame is rigidly braced and supports the body throughout its entire length, effectively resisting rosd many repair bills. shock that can lead to so 3. Excellence of Manufacture. As just one example of the extreme care used in building the Chevrolet Six—pistons are matched to within % ounce and individually fitted to less than three thousandths of an inch clearance. Piston pins, too, are allowed to vary in size only %o of one thousandth of an inch and are individually fitted to their bushings. As a result of precision like this, thousands of Chevrolet owners have traveled 20,000 miles or more without having their motors opened for major servicing. 4. High-Quality Materials.

Over 10,000 authorized Chevrolet service sta=- tions offer extremely low flat-rate charges on both labor and genuine parts. No charge is made for any of the parts or the labor involved in any replacements made under the terms of Chevrolet’s liberal Owner’s Service Policy. If you want a car that will serve you through the years at the lowest cost, choose a Cheve rolet Six. In addition to all the basic econo- mies above—Chevrolet offers the extra advane tage of one of the lowest delivered prices on the market. 4And this cost may be spread over a period of many months by the liberal G.M.A.C. plan.
