CHEVROLET "COME BACK"
Remarkable Story of Popular Car Ii
Told in Wall Street Journal.

An article Of much interest to auto
owners appears in the Wall Street
Journal, November 13, in which was
described what is termed the "come
back" of the Chevrolet, and giving as
tonshing figures regarding the pro-
duction comparisons. The article in
part follows:
'If the men responsible for the
f'come back" of Chevrolet ever fully
loosen their tongues the public will
be treated to most romantic story.
Here is company which got SO bad
iy in the doldrums that it virtually
breathed through the financial oxy-
gen tank of its parent General Motors
and in year has become one of the
corporations most valuable units.
'tProduction comparisons give per-
haps the best picture of what has
happened. In nine months OF 1922
Chevrolet turned out '17S,771 cars
against $4,000 for corresponding nine
months of 1921. Value for nine
months of 1922 is $89,62O,489 COM
pared with $52,603,602 for the en-
tire year 1921. Reduced to basis of
average monthly sales the 1922 rate
is $9,950,000 against S4,40O,O0O. Esti-
mate for all Of 1922 is 249, 900 cars.
"Chevrolet began in July 1921, to
build better product. New front
axle bearings were adopted, a better
rear axle made and an improved
clutch developed. Every part of the
car which had given trouble was re-
designed. Some idea of how
thoroughly the "49O" Chevrolet has
been remade may be gained from the
engineers report. In the body and
top were 22 changes, in the front axle
and wheels 10, in the rear axle six,
in the transmission seven, in the
motor 10, and in the chassis 13
changes. Total number of changes
between July l, 1921, and July l,
1922, was 68.
mot satisfied with these Chevrolet
made 26 additional changes in the
1923 model which is now having such
Il remarkable run of sales. Officials
who have been responsible for the
improvements modestly say: eve
have only followed the dictates of the
public. Building popular low priced
rar is now beyond the poker or the
"lrcus stake. People have not time
to stop at any side show,-they want
t" go right into the big tent"
