A bitdseye view of the 1245 -acre Proving Ground maintained by
General Motors to assure the quality and value of its' cars and trucks.
1. Entrance to the Proving Ground.
The group of buildings includes complete
experimental and service shops, engineering
offices and comfortable living quarters for
resident and visiting engineers and for the
driving crews. The Proving Ground person
nel numbers more than 200 men.
2. The 4-mile high-speed loop. The
largest in America, made of concrete, with
turns banked to permit continuous high
speed operation. In addition, the Proving
Ground has two concrete straight-aways 1
milts long, as level as a billiard table, and
miles of brick, tar, gravel and dirt roads
which reproduce every driving and weather
condition.
3. The hill-test road. Test hill grades at
the Proving Ground range from 7.26 per
cent to 24 per cent. The grades on public
highways seldom exceed 7 per cent.
4. The "bath-tub." A depressed concrete
roadway which is filled with water at varying
depths to reproduce flooded roadway conditions.
Here each General Motors car must prove its value
ON a 1245-acre tract near Milford, Michigan,
convenient to all its car and truck divisions,
General Motors has the first and largest proving
ground for automobiles.
Here tests are made and facts determined to
a degree impossible when cars and trucks are
tested on the public highways. Here each new
model of General Motors must prove itself,
point by point, before it is produced for sale to
the public.
More than 135 different tests are applied
to each car tested at the Proving Ground,
They involve every phase of construction and
performance: power, speed, endurance, accelera
tion, braking, steering, handling, riding comfort,
fuel economy and so on. In three months a car
or truck covers more miles than you would
drive it in three years.
The Proving Ground is another example of
how General Motors is serving the public. It is
also your assurance that when you buy a Gen
eral Motors product you are getting all possi
ble quality and value at its price and the ad
vantages of a policy of continuous improvement.
