Speaker 2 (26:59):
Whenever you see or hear the figures four forty five
fob Factory, always think, my friends of Chevrolet, of the
new Chevrolet Standard six, the car that made four hundred
forty five dollars famous, of the smart past stepping Chevrolet
that gave a new meaning to four forty five by
giving so many wonderful new features for that wonderful load
(27:21):
fight A Fisher body, a big comfortable interior, Fisher, no grass, ventilation,
safety plate, wingshield grass an octane selected, a lord of
the Road shafty that rides smoothly and steadily, and a
six cylinder valve and head engine that's not only one
of the snappiest on the road, but whistle of this gum.
(27:41):
Chevrolet Standard six owners report gasoline mileages as high as
twenty six miles to the gallon, and nearly all of
them are getting between eighteen.
Speaker 6 (27:50):
And twenty four, depending on how they drive.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
So if you have a minimum of money to spend
a new car and want that money to do you
the most goods, to bring you the most fun and
the greatest savings in return, save with a new Chevallet
Standard six, the big general value that made four hundred
forty five dollars stamous.
