'With, Faces Lifted r
Wilmington,. Del., June*-! i. — The
first automobiles to roll off the as
sembly line of the General Motors
corporation this year will be the
“1942 models with their faces lifted,”
Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., chairman, stated
at the annual j meeting.
As to prices, the G. M. executive
served notice on the public not to.
expect a $500 car, but added that the
company “would endeavor Ho keep;
the price of the new Chevrolet as low
as possible.”
Discussing the prospects for pro-
of the 200,000 car quota established
by the government for the final three
months of 1945, General Motors
would produce about 95,000 cars.;
While it would be up to the industry
to get its own materials, he said he
did not believe there would be too
much difficulty in this respect, al- i
though upholstery and tires may pre
sent something of a problem.
At the same time, Mr. Sloan warn
ed the public not to look for any of
those new sleek streamlined post
war models for two years, anyway.
