The CHEVROLET SIX
Otwell Motor Cos., Inc.
“The House Service Built.”
Shifting of favor among low
priced passenger car buyers
from four to six cylinder auto
mobiles is definitely indicated
by regstration figures for the
year-to-date now appearing in
leading - automotive trade
magazines. ~ _ ,
Complete returns for the first
five months of the year reveal
leadership in passenger car;
sales having gone to a six, I
Chevrolet having titled 303,110 j
cars in the period as against J
the 292,774 fours titled by thej
largest four cylinder car manu
facturer.
The trend is significent in
that 1931 is the first year to
see a six cylinder car leading
all other makes. Although
Chevrolet also occupied first
place in registration several
years ago, the record then was
made with the old four cylin
der Chevrolet before the
clrgngeover to a six.
The month by month margin
of 10,000 ears by which Chev
rolet led the runner-iuip this
year was widest during May,
when Chevrolet titled 4,600,
more passenger ears than the
leading four. May registra
tions are further interesting in
that Chevrolet titled only 1,000
less cars than the same month
of 1930.
During the first five months
this year Chevrolet titled
303,110 cars compared with
333.174 for the same five
months of last year which were
regarded as normal. The drop
of’ less than ten per cent com
pares with a comparable drop
for the industry generally of
about thirty per cent.
Indications of a general picx
up in retail buying as it affects
Chevrolet are contained in a
comparison of registrations
for May with the same month
last year. Gains were record
ed in the Far West, New Eng
land, the Southeast from North
Carolina to Florida, the Mid
east in New York state, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, and
Maryland, and the Midwest,
notably Indiana and Michigan.
A merchant was told that he
had only one month to live and
so called in a lawyer to put his
affairs in order. “Fix it,” he
said, “so that my overdrafts at
the bank will go to my wife—
she can explain it to them. My
equity in my automobile I want
to go to my son. He will then
have to work to keep up the
payments. Give my ‘good will’
to * the supply houses. They
took some awful chances on
me and are entitled to some
thing. My equipment, give to
the junk man, he has had his
eye on it for several years—
and I want six of my creditors
for pallbearers. They have
icarried me so long they might
as well finish the job.”—Savan
