Epic is a totally new budget car, built and backed by General Motors. It's the small car that gives you the roominess, com-

' fort, power, manoeuvrability, luggage space, good looks, economy and value that you've always wanted in a car of this size.

Epic givesyou a lively engine, combined with 4-speed all- Synchro-Mesh transmission that does away with that under- powered feeling.

No detail of driver or passen- ger comfort was overlooked in Epic’s design. The heater is exactly the same type as in big cars, and gives excellent warmth. Also, there's a real trunk.. .10 hold the luggage of the whole family. Epic is available in two models--Deluxe or Standard 2- door sedan.

We suggest that you drive Epic soon at your Chevrolet dealer's. . . and find out what you've been missing in other small cars.
