This new improvement, exclusive to Chevrolet in its price class, gives Chevrolet bodies additional strength and safety. The entire roof of the new Chevrolet body consists of a solid sheet of seamless steel.. This Turret-Top Roof is arched and reinforced by sturdy bows of heavy gauge metal to make even stronger-even safer-even more durable- and it is lined with a special heat-resisting material.
