Inscriptions
Text reads in part:
How the new Chevrolet wrings more power / and more miles out of every gallon of gas...
You see a couple of things in our picture / up there that combine to make mighty / fine motoring--the New England countryside / and the new 1954 Chevrolet./ ... / There has never been a Chevrolet / that responded so quickly, smoothly and / quietly to your foot on the accelerator./ ... / New High-Compression Power is / the reason behind these important advantages./ Chevrolet has the highest compression / ratio in any leading low-priced car. / ... / Higher compression means / that the fuel mixture is squeezed more / tightly in the engine to get more work / out of the same amount of gas. /... / Fine, Economical Performance / over the miles is only one reason why / you'll always be glad you bought a Chevrolet. /... /
The caption to the right states: Powerglide now available on all models! / .../ Teamed with the "Blue-Flame" engine, / Powerglide is optional at extra cost.
