Chevrolet Safety Truck going through test at State Vehicle Safety Inspection Station. Joe Thomas, right, head of the safety inspection station, documents the truck's approval rating for former race car driver Harry Hartz, left. The Chevrolet demonstration truck has travelled over 73,000 miles, criss crossing America. Thomas, a former automobile racer himself, introduced Hartz to the world of racing in 1919. Hartz twice won the Indianapolis Speedway Classic before being seriously injured in a crash. (T. Times 11/1 1939, pg. 13) (filed with Argentum)
