(•member—Our CAR-SERVICE is your best CAR-SAVER. Keep yovrpnstnl
car "o/ive” until you gel delivery of your new Chevrolet by bringing H fo
— us for skilled service now and of regular intervals.
We want to thank our customers and pro
spective customers for your friendly
patience while awaiting your new
Chevrolets.
We know it is a hardship to wait for
needed transportation; but we believe
you will understand that we, and
Chevrolet, are as eager to deliver cars as
you are to obtain them. Unfortunately,
production so far this year is far under
expectations. Chevrolet Motor Division
sums up the situation thus:
“Even though our rate of production i
normally exceeds that of any other
manufacturer, we have been able to
build, up to July 1, only 12.4 per cent
as many cars as we had built up to
that date in 1941. Production is still
far belcw normal, because of fre-
quent shortages of essential mate
rials and parts. Strike after strike at the
plants of our suppliers has seriously
impeded our progress toward full
production, and the cumulative
effect severely hampers every manu
facturing and assembly plant. In
June we were able to bujld only
29.2 per cent a* many cars as wa
produced in the same month in 4
1941.’!
While production Is restricted, so—in
proportion—are shipments of cars to us;
As production increases, we are assured
of getting our proportionate share of the
total—and as quickly as cars are received;
we will speed deliveries to our customers;
