ENGINE: Chevrolet's valve-in-head six. Famous for its smoothness, eliability, erformance and economy, as been developed and proved through the years in millions of cars. Of particular value in promoting trouble-free operation and long life is its exclusive four-way oiling system, hich combines positive pressure feed and high-speed jets, nd delivers oil to the various bearings and surfaces in direct proportion to their needs.

FUEL SYSTEM: The downdraft balanced carburetor meters the flow of gasoline to provide the most efficient mixture at all speeds and loads, ssuring maximum performance with economy of operation. Air cleaner, ntake silencer and flame arrester are combined in a single unit, asily removed for occasional cleaning.

ELECTRICAL: A high-output heavy-duty generator, ith voltage and current regulator, upplies ample current for added accessories.

FRONT SUSPENSION: Unitized Knee-Action is simple and sturdy. All its linkage, prings and front-wheel mountings are assembled and aligned with the massive front cross-member, hen attached to the chassis frame as a unit. Double-acting shock absorbers are built into the unit.

RIDE STABILZER: A torsion shaft, lexibly connected to the left and right lower links of the Knee-Action assembly, ives improved steering control and restrains side-sway.

STOCKPROOF STEERING: The advanced design of the Knee-Action unit, lus direct-acting steering linkage and rubber mountings, inimize steering effort and road shock.

FRAME: The chassis side-rails and cross-members are of rigid box-girder construction, ade even stronger by double-thick flanges.

REAR SUSPENSION: Resilient leaf springs mounted on rubber-insulated seats, nd double-acting hydraulic shock absorbers, ynchronize with the Knee-Action front end to produce Chevrolet's notably level ride. The drive is taken by the springs, hich are relieved of braking loads by the massive torque tube.

BRAKING: Hydraulic braking at its best is made possible by Chevrolet's exclusive brake-shoe mechanism, tilizing a double-articulated linkage. Because the linings make full-area contact with the drums, heir effective life is prolonged. Adjustment for gradual wear is made without special tools or gauges, ith wheels and drums in place. Drums, 1 inches in diameter, ave east alloy-iron braking surface, nd external ribs to promote cooling.

REAR AXLE: Silent operation and enduring strength are due to the use of hypoid gears, aving a drive pinion larger than possible with bevel gears, nd five times as strong.

TRANSMISSION: Automatic

EQUIPMENT: Sturdy bumpers, ach with two guards, urve part way around the fenders. Splash and gravel deflectors protect front and rear from spattering mud and flying gravel thrown by the tires.
