Chevrolet's Three Chassis Models for 1940:
Special De Luxe - Sport Sedan, Town Sedan, Four-Passenger Coupé, Business Coupé, Cabriolet, and Station Wagon, on Knee-Action chassis.
Master De Luxe - Sport Sedan, Town Sedan, Four-Paesenger Coupé, and Business Coupé (bodies identical with those of the Special De Luxe, except in trim and equipment), on knee-Action chassis.

"Chevrolet's FIRST Again !"
These new Chevrolets for 1940 have been designed and built and priced to be first again ... first in quality, performance, appearance, and economy ... first in public favor ... and first in sales-again in 1940 as they have been in eight of the last nine years.
Chevrolet herewith presents three series of passenger cars - Special De Luxe, Master De Luxe, and Master 85. All three are built to the same high standards of quality, in design, materials, and manufacture, for which Chevrolet has long been famous. All are Chevrolets through and through, identical in the design and construction of their engines, transmissions, clutches, rear axles, and brakes. All have Chevrolet's exclusive vacuum-power shift as standard equipment at no extra charge. All have genuine Fisher all-steel bodies.
These three series of Chevrolets for 1940-differing in price only, as they differ in their equipment and trim-possess in full those superiorities in appearance, performance, safety, comfort, durability, and economy that have won and held for Chevrolet its leadership in national new car sales year after year.
