It is the view of the British delegates that the future of

OVERWHELMING

LEADERSHIP IN SALES

YEAR AFTER YEAR

Chevrolet is proud of its record for leadership in sales- not merely for the sake of leadership, but because this record proves the public's trust and confidence in Chevrolet products, A motor car is an important possession, and its owner is quick to tell his friends about its merits or faults.

Without a sound reputation for manu- facturing integrity, with a firm public faith in Chevrolet design, dependability and value, such leadership in sales could never- have been established.

The public bought more Chevrolets than any other car, year after year, and in that convincing way the public testifies that YOU can always buy a CHEVROLET with full confidence in its greater value.
