BACK IN 1928, CHEVROLET UPSET ALL PRECEDENT IN THE LOW-PRICE FIELD BY INTRODUCING A SIX-CYLINDER VALVE-IN-HEAD ENGINE IN A CAR OF LOWEST PRICE..

Since then, the engineering staff of Chevrolet has been. concentrating solely on that one ideal type of motor- refining it, developing it, perfecting it, bringing it to its highest point of efficiency. The experience gained in building millions of these sixes, plus the experience gained by millions of Chevrolet owners in driving them, have been applied to the perfection of this engine. As a result: when you go to buy a new Chevrolet, you know, in advance, that the engine is going to give you long dependable service at low cost. You know that, first because the world's largest builder of sixes has produced it. And secondly, because millions of Chevrolet owners have tried out this engine on the road-have proved it to be dependable.
