THE NEW CHEVROLET

IS HERE

Comparison of the new 1928 Chevrolet line with other makes

in its price class at the New York Automobile Show brings out two salient points.

The increase of four inches in wheel-base has enabled the Fisher Body engineers to obtain a much better appearance between the height and length of the car. The new Fisher closed bodies are rommler, wider doors make it easier to get in and out of the car, and new beautiful upholstery material blends with a really beautiful Duco; finish. Tho Sedan body is approximately three inches longer and the Coach five inches longer. The rear end of the roof on the Sedan, Coach, Landau and Coupe has been rounded off to improve the appearance, The Fisher V. V. windshield has been placed in the Cabriolet and Landau, and all have new and very attractive colours.

Inside, the bodies have greatly increased leg room and greater comfort. All the body fittings; regulators, remote door controls and locks have been improved in appearance and given a luxurious touch. The cars are low with no sacrifice of road clearance, and the lines are continuous and pleasing, with no break in the line from radiator to tail light. They have a rich, substantial beauty and good taste throughout. With real beauty, every convenience and comfort feature that can be desired, plus ` performance that will match many much higher priced cars, they offer exceptional value.
