ant milestone in its rela

The Automobile Manu

keeps the records for the
industry, reports the event
occurring in mid-January
but said that the exact time
and place is impossible to
determine. Hie industry
now has 93 assembly plants
located in 72 cities and 26
states across the nation
with production running as
high as 45,000 vehicles
daily.

its beginning in 1896, re

vehicles. But rapidly in

this figure climb to 50 mil

the 17 years until 1948, the
vehicle marking the 100
millionth rolled off an as
