If you hear a thump...
its only your heart!
It's enough to quicken anybody's pulse, the way
this powerful new Chevrolet takes to the highway!
When you feel that big bore V8 come alive, and your heart skips a
beat, chalk it up to Chevrolet’s zestful, let’s-go-places spirit, with
horsepower ranging up to 225. This is the car, you know, that took
top honors in the NASCAR Daytona Beach time trials. Chevy won
both the acceleration and flying mile contests for popular-priced cars
—and both in record-breaking time! Come on in and hear what your
heart has to say about Chevrolet. Why not make it soon?
