Imagine a truck ride that virtually eliminates shimmy and wheel fight, cuts side sway on curves, makes steering far steadier and easier, keeps drivers far fresher. ■ Imagine a truck ride that permits higher safe cruising speeds, more trips per day with all kinds of cargo over every type of road surface. Imagine a ride that keeps up to 78% of all objectionable road shock and vibration from ever reaching the driver and cargo, a design that sharply reduces twisting and fatigue forces on chassis, cabs and bodies, that keeps trucks young for extra thousands of miles. / Soon you won't have to just imagine such a ride. You can try it for yourself in the trucks that do t/ic next best thing to paving every road in America—new Chevrolet - trucks for 1960. You'll see what happens when Chevy's truck engineers design a whole new line of trucks around a whole new kind of torsion^pring suspension. These trucks are new from the ride on up—with wonderfully roomier cabs, brawnier frames, style that's fresh as sixty y ( HEX ROI.ET and more! Don't decide on any new truck till you see the newest of all, See them soon at your local authorized Chevrolet dealer’s. Powell-Mann Chevrolet Co. ; Phone 49 Open Evenings Walkerton r . . . . ■
