CHEVROLET

Why is it that every 12-cylinder and 16- has bodies of steel cylinder car reinforced by hardwood? Why is it that every make of car selling for over $4000 uses bodies of exactly the same type? Why? For the same reason that Chevrolet uses it exclusively. Because every test and every experiment has definitely proved: STEEL ALONÈ IS NOT ENOUGH!

Steel alone is also inclined to rumble and rattle, BUT when you put the two together a heavy, staunch steel body over tough, solid hardwood-then the hardwood re inforces the steel-and vice versal And the result: the strongest, safest type of body, such as Fisher builds for Chevrolet.
