Exceeding its production schedule
by more than 1,000, the Chevrolet
Motor Company built 55,504 motor
cprs and trucks during October, the
third highest production month in
the history of the company
This achievement followed a sim-
ilar performance In September when
the company built 55,865 units,
reeding its production schedule by
2,700 after the schedule had been
increased nearly 7,000. September
was the second highest month in
Chevrolet production, being only 378
under the high mark established two
years ago.
The production maintained during
the last 60 days aided the company
in its efforts to meet the heavy de-
mand which has continued consis-
tently throughout the entire year.
During the lest seven months Chev-
rolet average production has been
52,457 per month. During only one
of these months did production fall
below 50,000, that being July when
45,670 ears and trucks were manu-
factured. The slight July decrease
was due to changes-being made at
the factories in preparation for the
improvements which followed thejj
jirice reduction announcement of
August 1. _
