Whenever you drive, remember ...
Your Chevrolet has been designed and manufactured to provide you
with superior power, stamina and sofety. You can depend on continued
service, dependability and enjoyable driving for years to come.
Keep in mind, however, that every automobile has the potential to
become a deadly weapon as well as a thing of convenience and
enjoyment. Many of the features which make your Chevrolet so desir-
able to own and drive could, if not handled in a safe, intelligent
manner, lead to property damage and injury to yourself and others.
So drive your Chevrolet with all the core and courtesy that you would
like other drivers to use. Drive carefully and observe all traffic laws.
Be prepared to move over and let the "crazy driver" go by. Do not
use the power of your Chevrolet to "show him up". Follow all the
common sense "rules of the rood" and you will find that, as a sofe
driver, you will get more enjoyment from your new Chevrolet and you
will help to make all driving safer for everyone.
