L08S OF HOME
NARROWLY AVERTED
NOVEMBER MARKS
22nd ANNIVERSARY OF
CHEVROLET MOTOR CARS
FAIRFIELD P. T. A. IN
REGULAR MEETING
MONDAY, NOVEMBER S
This month marks twenty-second
anniversary of the formation of the
company which today is the largest
producer of motor cars and trucks
in the world.
On November 3, 1911, the Chev-
rolet Company of Michigan was or-
ganized. and production started on
a modest scale, the output for the
remainder of 1911 not exceeding
five or six cars.
In the full year of 1912 produc-
tion totaled 2,999 cars. This presents
quite a contrast to production in
1933, which haa already crossed the
600,000 mark.
During the first year of Its exis-
tence, nearly the entire output of
Chevrolet waa sold through retail
stores in Chicago, Philadelphia and
Boston. With the opening of further
retail outlets, the second year of the
company’s history found production
close to 6,000 unta. This compara-
tively large volume—for that day—
necessitated opening another plant
in New York City.
That Chevrolet waa destined to be-
come a volume car was indicated
as early as 1915. That year the
famous "490” model, so named be-
cause It listed at 3490, went into
production and at the end of the
year more than 69,000 units were
produced. By this time the main
plant of Chevrolet was located in
Flint, and its dealer organization
covered the principal cities of the
country.
The year 1916 saw a general ex-
pansion of the production facilities
of the company. Additional plants
were purchased and assembly plants
started at Oakland, Call., Ft. Worth,
Tex. and a general enlargement of
the Flint operation took place.
The 1917 production for the first
time exceeded the hundred thousand
mrk and on May 23 1918, General
Motors purchssed all assets of the
Chevrolet motor Company. The his-
tory of the rise of Chevrolet in the
lest fifteen years is well known.
W. S. Knudsen came into the
Chevrolet executive organization from
General Motors in 1922 and became
president and general manager of
the company in 1924. Shortly after
assuming this office, Mr. Knudsen, re-
cognizing in Marvin E. Coyle, who
had been comptroller of all Chevro-
let operations since 1917, a man of
managerial material, made Mr. Coyle
assistant to the piesident. From this
time he has worked quietly behind
the scenes with Mr. Knudsen In
shaping policies and administrative
procedure of Chevrolet.
Chevrolet so far this year has ob-
tained 45 per cent of all passenger
car business in its price field and
is continuing its position of leader
in the automotive world, a position
it has held for the last three con-
secutive years and for the last five
out of seven years.
