Just as Chevrolet led the world In four cylinder car production during the last two years that the ' company built that type, so now it assumes leadership in the six cylinder field by having built near ly five times as many sixes in twenty months as any other manufacturer in the history of the industry. The two millionth six—a coach —rolled off the line here with Chevrolet and General Motors executives in attendance to witness the final assembly of the car. for which no further ceremonies were planned. Gronth Shown The brief time required by Chevrolet to build two million sixes provides an index of the rapid strides made by this org anization to the front rank of volume car builders. The company was organized late in 1911, and there were required nearly seven teen years to turn out five million of the old four cylinder cars, while two million sixes have been placed on the street* and highways of the world since January 1, 1929. or In a total time of only nineteen months and one week. Commenting on the manufacture i Of the two millionth six, W. $ i Knudsen. President and General Manager, stated that the fact of establishing a new record was significant mainly in that it indic ated a definite public preference for the performance and luxury which a six affords in the low priced field. Coach Popular “We abandoned our position as the world’s largest builder of four cylinder cars.” Mr. Knudsen ex plained, “because the volume we had built up. coupled with the tremendous purchasing power of General Motors, enabled us to put two extra cylinders in our cars and yet retain the price range l~'~’ ' and operating economy of the old I four cylinder car. •"Today the coach, one of the most popular models in the line, is priced twenty dollars lower than the four cylinder coach was ever sold. The experiences of two mil lions of owners are that gas aril other operating and upkeep ex penses are as low as any standard four cylinder car. The quick public acceptance of this fact, and the gratifying response to the new type, made possible our new pro duction record* Total output of the Chevrolet Motor Company to date is ap i proximately 7.200.000 cars. , f III PERFORMANCE —- ■.
