CHEVROLETS NEW EFFICIENCY SYSTEM FOR 1975 It’s the key part of a program aimed at helping our new ears run leaner (mote economically), run cleaner —and save you money every mile. The Efficiency System is standard on all 1975 Chevrolets with V 8 or fircyltnder engines. It’s a series of significant engineering improvements working together for the very first time. Components include High Energy Ignition, catalytic converter, Early Fuel Evaporation and steel-belted radial ply tires. In sum, the System is designed to heighten the pleasure and lower the cost of driving a 1975 Chevrolet —to bring you a better running car in many ways, along with improved fuel economy, more miles between recommended maintenance and an engine that stays cleaner internally because of no-lead fuel. Your Chevrolet dealer will gladly give you the details and answer your questions. Sec him and the sensible 1975 Chevrolets starting September 27. CHEVROLET MAKES SENSE FOR AMERICA
