Chevrolet Wins Coveted
Manufacturers’ Trophy at
Daytona Beach as “best
performing U. S. automobile”!
Want facts about performance?
Then look at the official figures from
NASCAR’s* internationally famous
Daytona Beach competition for stock
cars. Here’s what you’ll find: Chev
rolet, in two weeks of blistering com
petition, proved itself as America’s
Number One performance car. Nothing
in the low-price field could touch it.
No other car, regardless of price,
scored such a sweep. And Chevy
walked away with the famous Manu
facturers’ Trophy, hands down!
The 1957 Chevrolet is, by all odds,
the most astonishing performer ever
produced in the low-price field. Best
of all, this superiority isn’t limited to
just a few extra-cost high-performance
models. Every type of Chevy—from
the six-cylinder models right up to the
283-horsepower “Super Turbo-Fire”
V8’s, from the single-carburetor V8’s
with Powerglide to the stick-shift
“270’s”—is a championship car.
