Average Life Of Motor Cars

AS highway transportation develops
and passenger cars and truck become
practically the sole means of road
travel. the proportion of first pur-
chasers Of cars and trucks i'm the total
of car sales will decrease, and the
demand for new cars each year will
become more and more nearly equal
to the number of cars which drop out
of service. For this reason 1t is be-
coming increasingly important for the
trade to know how many cars will be
required for replacement of those with
drawn from service. Analysis of regis
tration. production. export and import
figures over period Of years leads
to the conclusion that the average life
of two million cars retired from
service in the last seven years was
about 5.3 years.-Scientific American.
