If you think we had a knack for pleasing people before, wait until you see what we’ve done to our four entirely different kinds of cars. ’63 CHEVROLET: It com- bines extremely spacious interiors and Jet-smooth riding comfort With a new richness that rivals the more costly cars. It has new service-saving features, too, like elf-adjusting brakes. battery- saving Delcotron generator, and flush-and-dry rocker panels under the doors of its Body by Fisher to keep it rust-free longer. ’63 CHEVY II: Our very parkable low-priced family car is spruced up in styling in keeping with its snappy 4- or 6-cylinder engine. And it has those new service- saving features of the big Chev- rolet. ’63 CORVAIR: We haven’t tinkered with its wonderful road- clinging rear engine geometry. We did, however, install new self-adjusting brakes and made enough appearance changes so all you sports-loving families will have something new to brag about in ’63. NEW CORVETTE STING RAY: Now available in converti- ble or sport coupe—with exciting new styling and just as dramatic innovations underneath.
