Show Chevrolet Makes Millionth Car Further entrenching itself in its position as the world's foremost automobile producer, the Chevrolet Motor Company last week reached a new mile-tone in its manufacturing history. With production and sales continuing at a record September clip, the millionth car of 1928 came off the assembly line at Flint last Tuesday afternoon. Due to the high September production pro-duction schedule necessary to meet an unusually heavy fall demand, no formal ceremonies marked the occasion occas-ion although W. S. Knudson, president presi-dent of the Chevrolet Motor Company, R. H. Grant, vice-president in charge of sales, C. F. Barth, vice-president in charge of manufacturing and other Chevrolet officials were present. The record making car was a coach, one of the most popular models in the line- It was a standard model in every respect. Like hundreds of thousands of Chevrolet coaches it was finished in avenue green Duco, with Tartan tan wheels, black beading ! and striping in gold. After a brief informal ceremony the millionth car passed through the usual channels of distribution. It was shipped a few hours after it came off the line to a dealer in the middle west. |
