The Chevrolet reflects the ad- vantages of quantity roduction and testifies to the facilities and resources of the many General Mo- tors institutions and co-operated with Chevrolet to make the new gar possible ip its price field. Displayed under the title of the #Bigger and Better" Chevrolet, the ew line represents the results of assons learned through thirteen years of stant progress in the building of low priced transporta- tion, brief appreciation of some of the advances in this year's Chev- solet may be had by noting the following highlights: Extended wheelbase, greater eed and power, four wheel rakes, longer, roomier Fisher bodies, new Duco colors, thermo- y cooling, shock absorber springs, motor enclosure, and in- directly lighted instrument panel and other advantages built in as a yesult of lessons learned through 13 years of constant progress. Seven passenger cars, including five closed and two open types, comprise the line. Every require- ment is cared for in the make up and appointments of the various body types. Every detail has been proved true in exhaustive tests, As a re- sult, the new line achieves to a fogree hitherto unexampled in the ow priced field a standard of emartness, advanced performance, striking color combinations, com- pleteness of equipment and mi- nute attention to style, comfort and Juxury. The new car has a distinctive big car appearance entirely foreign to its price class. This is achieved by adding four inches to the wheel- base, bringing the present total to 107 finches. The frame also has been deep- ened and strengthened to make a smoother riding, sturdier and bet- ter balanced car. Stressing the heauty of line are pew honeycomb Harrison radiators of deep, slender, graceful design. Their added depth has so raised the front of the car that from the cowl to the base of the new low radiator cap the line is unbroken and nearly level, Radiator shells are heavily nick- elled; while thermostX control of the cooling system is an additional feature.

Mechanically the car has been improved to parallel in perform- ance, speed and road-ability its new beauty and advanced body design. It is powered by an improved valve- in-head engine that in road tests developed 34.6 per cent more pow- er and approximately five more miles per hour than the previous Chevrolet engine. New features developed in the engine include a new motor en- closure which completely covers the valve lifts and makes for a quieter and cleaner engine. New crankcase breathing system which eliminates the leakage of engine fumes 'ivar strut' pistons, new hydro-alminated camshaft gears, improved mushroom valve tappets, and larger camshaft, An oll pump provides efficient lubrication to all hearing surfaces; while an AC oll filter and an AC air cleaner protect all moving parts of the engine from dirt and other foreign matter, thus adding materi- ally te the life of the motor. Another important achievement in the 1928 line is the new shock ahsorber semi-elliptic springs which run parallel to the frame and equal 84 per cent of the in- creased wheelbase of the car. They provide 60 per cent better riding qualities than the old type of spring, according to observers, TELLS GRAPHIC "STORY OF FIRE Blanche Garneau, 15, Says Mother Gave Sister Warning Quebec, Mar. 2.--A graphic tory of the experience undergone by 15-year-old Blanche Garpeau, 0 person to escape the fire that destroyed their home at Gros Pin, with a loss of six lives, was ven by the girl to newspapermen gsday afternoon.
