"THANKS A MILLION"
FOR MORE THAN A MILLION
America has bought 1,130,000 Chevrolets during the
past twelve months, thereby giving Chevrolet the
greatest year in its history and the greatest meas
ure of buyer preference it has ever enjoyed.
f-JW3Lm Tbe builders of Chevrolet are
liaiB ' thankful for many things, but
most of all for the warm friendship of the
American people.
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.
