Show ' CHEVROLET MOTOR COMPANY CAR NOW ON CIRCLE TOUR Bound on a circle tour of all the National parks of the west, a Chevrolet Chev-rolet Imperial landau recently left Los Angeles, under the direction of the Chevrolet Motor company, to ex- i plore the scenic wonderlands, secure pictures of the countless spots of sur- pasing interet and report on the general condition of the highways leading to them. Recognized the country over as a region of unrivaled charm and beauty, beau-ty, the western national parks are drawing a record number of tourists this year. Although the south, east and middle west, irf fact all America, is represented by vacationists who are taking advantage of fine ribbons o fconcrete to explore the wonder-theater wonder-theater of nature, the average American Ameri-can tourist has yet to visit the sec- : tion. And it is in the interests of those who have yet to enjoy this sustained treat as well as those who have made the trips that the Chevrolet Chev-rolet National Parks car is on its way. .' Authorities in charge of the National Na-tional parks aystem are in hearty accord with the action of the Chev roet Motor company. The car carries a letter from A. M. Demaray, acting act-ing director of the National parks service, commending the automobile and its crew and introducing them to j ! the superintendents in the west. ! ! Educational authorities, too, have i interested themselves in the move of the Chevrolet Motor company to give ! more publicity to the recreational ; ; features of our national parks. j Harold Stonier, vice-president of the j University of Southern California, . acting as official starter, congratulat- ! ed the pilot. W. S. Wood, and waved success to the party as the Chevrolet swept across the campus of the famous fam-ous California institution, headed for Zion National park in southwestern Utah. The National parks Chevrolet will then proceed to the North rim of the Grand Canyon, visiting enroute the newest national monument at Pipe Springs. From the North rim and the great Kaibab forest, where winter snowdrifts are still lying in the sheltered canyons, the Chevrolet will visit Bryce Canyon and from there double back to Cedar Breaks, and thence to Salt Lake City. From Salt Lake the car will head cast for Rocky Mountain National Park, near Denver, and go from there to Mest Verda, where the most re-markabe re-markabe cliff dwellings to be found in the west are preserved under the supervision of the government. From Jlesa Verda the car will proceed pro-ceed to Yellowstone and thence to Glacier National Park, far upward toward the Canadian line. West from there the Chevrolet will head for Ranier National park. Homeward bound once more down the Pacific coast, Crater Lake, Lassen, Yosemite, General Grant and Sequoia will complete com-plete the list of parks on the long ' trail ahead of the Chevrolet. The car carries nothing more in the way of special equipment than a set of chains, which very likely will not be used once on the entire journey. |
