Il6.OSO FORDS
FOR FEBRUARY
Shortest Month in the Year
Brings New Sales
Record

Detroit, Michigan: With 116,0S0
Ford cars sold at retail in February,
new record for the shortest month
in the year has been established.
February sales exceeded those of
January by more than 1900 and
marked the eleventh month in which
Ford sales have topped the 100000
line.
This sales record bears out pre-
dietions made at the opening of the
year that an acute shortage in Ford
ears is certain and this shortage is
expected to be felt within the next
two months with the increased vol
ume of car buying which is always
attendant upon the spring months.
Even the high production schedule
set at the Ford Motor Company's fac
tory here, which viii reach 5000
cars and trucks day about April
viii be unable to meet the apparent
demand for Ford products.
Anticipating a great increase in
the demand for Ford cars during the
present year the factory here laid
plans for increasing production to
the 5000 acr a day schedule and
since January first had been con-
stantly speeding up manufacture to
reach this figure. Demand so far
has been of such proportions as to
absorb nearly all production, and
stocks in hands of dealers are at pre-
sent the lowest they have been in
months.
February sales of 116,080 cars
were made in the face of unfavor-
able weather conditions in many sec
tions of the country which tied up
freight traffic and prevented many
deliveries. This was particularly
true throughout the northwest, the
northern tier of states and in New
England. In California, too, cold
weather during a part of the month
had its effect upon car sales.
CT Will even lnSS6 unldfOIdDlt
conditions, the February sales top
ped those of January by Is per cent
and set new high record for mid
winter selling.
With February the eleventh month
in which Ford sales have gone over
the 100000, the total for this per-
iod is close to 1,250,OO0 cars.
Peak car sales usually are reached
during the summer months with
drops in the fall and winter This
feature of automobile absorption by
the buying public has been complete
ly changed during the last few
months through the activities of the
Ford dealer organization which has
raised the peak" line to include
every month in the year.
