OUTZ, Proprietor. in the offerings as a whole, but in individual models of the most comprehensive line ever introduced by Chevrolet. “Never before in my experience have I seen such a heavy demand for all models of the new car,” Mr. Holler said. “The unusually strong backlog of orders built up during the pre-announcement activities has been further bolstered by pur chasers who were simply waiting to get a glimpse of the new car before selecting model and color. “Ordinarily, of course, we expect liveliest demand for the two-door and four-door sedans. This year, not only are the sedans in great demand, but buyers are asking for many more of the other models than in previous years. Especially popular is the four-passenger crupe, introduced by Chevrolet last year and further refined and made roomier in 1940. Station, wagons too have won widespread public approval and are in great demand.” Mr. Holler pointed out that “eve appeal” has had much to do with the acceptance of the new 1940 Chevrolet line. “The new cars,” he said, represent a greater improve ment in styling and design than Chevrolet has ever previously at tempted to make in one year. Numerous mechanical improve ments, already acclaimed by drivers of the new Chevrolets, bea” out the reports of the engineers that extensive refinements have been made in the 1940 chassis and power plant.” New car orders are being handled as rapidly as possible, Mr. Holler said.
