LEADERSHIP IN SALES
YEAR AFTER YEAR
Chevrolet is proud of its record for leadership in sales- not merely for the sake of leadership, but because this record proves the public's trust and confidence in Chevrolet products. A motor car is an important possession, and its owner is quick to tell his friends about its merits or faults.
Without a sound reputation for manu facturing integrity, with a firm public faith in Chevrolet design, dependability and value, such feadership in sales could never have been established.
The public bought more. Chevrolets than any other car, year after year, and in that convincing way the public testifies that YOU can always buy a CHEVROLET with. full confidence in its greater value.
