With more, you sacrifice economy--- With less, you sacrifice smoothness.

Depend on CHEVROLET for the right answer to the question of cylinders in a, low-priced car: SIX CYLINDERS. No More, No Less."

And Chevrolet is backed up in its judgment by selling almost as many cars as her two closest competitors combined. WHY SUCH DECIDED PREFERENCE?

Chevrolat knows that unless a low-priced car has 6. cylinders, the owner must sacrifice either SMOOTHNESS or ECONOMY.
