DKTnOIT, Alich. (Rpecial).-i An
unprecedented ' winter demand for
Chevrolet passenger cars nnd
trucks " necessitated' a ' production
last month nearly three times .that
of January, l!t2ri. It Is anhouncr-d
j by W. H. Knudsen, president and
general manager-or llie cnovroiyt
Motor company. ' i
The January production ' was
morn than 44,000, which ccllpsos
ahy prevlomi January -production
in Chevrolet history. Under the
tentative February production
schedule, tho company will n did
inoi- than 01.000 units, or nearly
twlco th number produced in the
corresponding month of-daaUyeaf.
The heavy winter production is
the result of demand which. Chev
rolet buyers have made 'upon f tlio
company's dealers since. ; tho ; an
nouncement by 1'resldent Knudsen
of reduced prices and 'numerous
improvements on tho entire 'Chev
rolet line. t " '
Instead of storing i-eserve stocks
against the requirements of spring
business, the dealers report .that
they nre- delivering Immediately
their shipment of cars to waiting
buyers.' ' . -- '
. 1-ast. year -tho Chevrolet 'Motor
company led all manufacturers of
three - speed, sliding - transmis
sion cars by building more than
500.000 units. According to pres
ent plans, President Knudsen ex
pects to exceed the 1925 record
by a comfortable margin.

Measure the value of, this luxurious, fast, extra
powerful Overland Six by the number of new
owners each week. Buyers accustomed to paying
well over a thousand dollars for their cars arc sav
ing the difference and, in this great automobile, are
getting even greater value for their money . . . For
beauty and smartness, for power and pickup, for
low cost of keeping it in action no car in the $1000
price group equals it. Where dollars count, this big
Six wins. Its superior worth is instantly apparent.
