Even when rain pelts against the windows of your car, you'll be dry and comfortable inside if your car has Fisher No Draft Ventilation.
You can open one of those smart Ventipanes just a little. and out goes the stuffy air; in
comes the pure fresh air, without drafts or any splatter
of raindrops. This helps to keep the inside of the windshield clear for front seat passengers, which certainly makes driving safer for all concerned. And, it keeps the Occupants in the back seats from being chilled by drafts. or getting all hot and squirmy and restless.
In fact, it would be hard for anyone to get tired of riding in the smart, strong safe new Body by Fisher.
The seats are wider, deeper.....the cushions more luxuriously restful... the whole interior noticeably more spacious. That's one of the first things which will. impress you, when you see and examine the new CHEVROLET SIX,
