Chevrolet dealers’
combined sales
set a new high
—during the month of June, W. E.
Holler, general sales manager,
announces. New car sales for the
month totaled 102,615 passenger
cars and trucks, a gain of 35 per
cent over June, 1939. Increases
were also registered in used car
'sales, a total of 214,970 units be
ing sold during the month. This
represents a 40 per cent gain
over June, 1939.
Of special significance, Mr.
Holler said, is the fact that used
| car stocks were reduced by 42,
249 units during the month of
June. This large-volume reduc
tion, he said, means that Chevro
let dealers are in position to
offer new cars and trucks on
terms especially advantageous to
the buyer in July.
