IN CITY PREVIEW
EYED BY DEALER
C. W. Thomson of the Rogue
River Chevrolet returned from
Portland today where he attend
ed a preview of the new 1948
Chevrolet at the company'i zone
headquarters.
He was reluctant to discuss the
mechanical and style features of
the new car, but by his eager at
titude It was apparent that he ex
pected the formal announcement
and public showing of the car to
be at an early date.
Mr. Thomson said he and other
dealers in the area were confi
dent that the 1946 Chevrolet will
maintain the record of the top
volume sales, which Chevrolet
reached in 10 of the last 11 pre
war years of automobile produc
tion, to meet the unprecedented
pent-up demand for new cars.
Following the same policy as
In former years, the new Chevro
let will be displayed simultane
ously In dealers' showrooms i
throughout the country, Thorn- j
son said. i
Newspaper announcement will i
tell when prospective customers :
may see the new car for the first
time. ;
Throughout the war period,
car owners have been forced to
get along with their old automo
biles. At the same time dealers
have expended every effort to
service these cars, and to keep
them rolling for the duration.
Mr. Thomson stressed car care,
with the warning that motorists
should not expect the 1946 Chev
rolet to be available in great
quantities immediately. The sup
ply to dealers will increase as
production in the Chevrolet
plants permits.
