Description
At the time, these cars offered a striking new beauty never before associated with a car priced so low. The striking new radiator, the new longer hood, and the beautiful Fisher bodies, with such graceful construction offering rich substantial beauty, in good taste throughout.
New appearance features at the time included:
- One piece fenders and new headlamps with wide non rusting airplane metal rims. These added to the beauty of every new Chevrolet car of the era.
- The trade mark of the cars were now fitted in a bronze plate of artistic design and a new radiator cap was provided.
- The new roomier Fisher bodies, with wider doors, made it easier to get in and out of the car. Increased leg room and offered the maximum in restful riding comfort.
- The lighting switch, speedometer, oil gauge ammeter were framed in a beautiful mounting on the instrument panel with the carburettor choke and windshield wiper control on either side.
Alongside proved dependability features, other improvements included:
- large, rugged, dependable four-wheel brakes that enabled the driver to stop the car almost as the thought flashed through his mind.
- New constant clearance “Invar Strut” Pistons
- Various new motor features improving power, efficiency, quietness and smoothness and the motor was now completely sealed.
- Two fold port exhaust manifold and new cylinder head design to give better valve cooling
- New larger camshaft, with bearings of increased diameter and length
- New thermostatic Heat control
- New Steering comfort
- New 107” wheelbase with new shock absorbing semi- elliptic springs
- New safety petrol system
All Chevrolet models at the time were finished in Du Pont Duco colours – the most lasting motor finish ever invented. Every detail of interior finish was given exacting consideration and presented to the occupants of the cars, the finish that is expected of quality workmanship.
