MANY CHEVROLET
SIXES ON ROAD
Company Announces To
day That More Than
1,200,000 Rolling Now.
i DETROIT. Oft. li The Chevro
let Motor company turnout) red here
today that more than 1, 200.(140 or
the new six cylinder Chevrolet cars
have been placed on the. ruad since
the first of the year. -
This achievement accomplished
!n little over nine months, is three
times the best showing of uny oth
er manufacturer of six cylinder
curs in a calendar year and tups
Chevrolet's record total for the en
tire year of ltclfi.
It is now certain thai six cylin
der production will set a. world
lcord this year, surpassing for the
nrsL time in ui msiory oi wio in
dustry the output of four cylinder
carH. This leadership of the sixes
will come about chiefly because of
Chevrolet's record showing this
year. H.'
Chevrolet factory officials de
clare that the dominating reason
back of the leadership of the six
Is the public preference for the ad
vantages which this type of con
struction affords. They point out,
too, that the influence of great
f volume production, which has en
abled the Industry to get six cylin
der prices down to the lowest on
record and has made it possible
for Chevrolet through maximum
volume to offer six cylinder per
formance at a price that formerly
boucht only a four.
With a new yearly record already
fissured, Chevrolet factories art
Continuing on the biggest fall pro
duction, program ever undertaken
bv the company. Nine assembly
tlants and seven large manufact
uring plants are lacing the busi
est final (uarter that Chevrolet
has ever known.
The heavy fall factory program
was made necessary, il was ex
plained, to bring production up to
the level of the demand and make
possible quicker deliveries to owners.

Since that time the automobile

In tup lower priced field of the

To be Up-to-Date .
Means to be Up-to-Chrysler
." When anything new is produced, there are always
those who create and those who follow. -
In the change to balloon tires, some makers asserted
the new type would never succeed. Four-wheel
brutes found some who disastrously supported the
t"wheel design. And today, there are engineers
Who decry the Multi-Range Gear Shift and the
Down-Draft carburetor.
Chrysler has never been among those who shun new
things if the new be better than the old.
The public acclaim for Chrysler, instead, has been
based on Chrysler's pioneering or ready acceptance of
those new creations which have made motoring safer,
more comfortable, surer and more economical.
: To be always ahead of or abreast of the times, but
never to experiment on the public is the real founda
tion of Chrysler success. .
You who prefer the latest, the most advanced, the best,
have made Chrysler the most copied car in the world.
Because Chrysler has built the kind of cars you up-to-the-minute
people want, you have given Chrysler the
, ' greatest success in the history of automobile building.
. We invite your most critical inspection.
