The simple fact of the matter is: Chevrolet is the newest of the new for 1965. It’s new coming at you, new passing you (how about that new Sweep-line roof?), and beats all the rest for newness going away. Even Chevrolet's famous Jet-smooth ride has been improved, with new Full Coil front and rear suspensions, a new Wide-Stance tread, more extra- thick body mounts and vibration-squelching insulation at more than 700 points. We put new curved glass in the side windows, and—get this —a new tempered glass rear window in the convertibles. Thirteen out

of the fifteen Magic-Mirror colors are new. There’s a new rear-mounted linkage in Chevrolet’s Ball-Race steering for smoother, more positive handling and control. And if the way Chevrolet looks, and the way Chevrolet rides, and the way it goes is all new, what hasn’t changed? Just this: Chevrolet value! For sheer elegance and luxury at a down-to- earth price, no other car can hold a candle to Chevrolet. And the ’65 model does more than just maintain that reputation — it builds it!
