And so again at this Thanksgiving season vre say, "Thank yon, America," for yon have given Chevrolet a measure of good-will with out parallel in tbe annals of modern indnstrv. Consider, for a moment, all that yon have done to inspire Chevrolet's appreciation during the past twelve months: Too have pnrcbased 1,130,000 Chevrolets; yon have made Chevrolet yonr favorite car for the seventh time in the pat ten years; yon have given Chevrolet strong preference in every section of tbe country; yon have con ferred tliis same high honor npon Chevrolet trucks by purchasing more than 205,000 com mercial units; yon have made 1936 tho most successful year in all Chevrolet history. And now, to climax these expressions of friend ship , you are displaying even more marked pref erence for the new Chevrolet for 1937. It is difficult to express adequate appreciation for gifts so great and so generous as these. AD we can say is, "Thanks a million" for more than a million cars in 1936; and all we can do is offer yon the still finer Chevrolet of 1937 in return for the finest friendship ever bestowed upon any motor car manufacturer.
