SIX CYLINDER CARS
WILL LEAD FIELD

Detroit, Aug For the first time
in the history of the automobile in
dustry six cylinder cars promise to
lead the field in production this year,
according to survey by the Chevro-
let Motor company completed today.
Up until this year four cylinder cars
ranked first in annual production vol
ume.
Comparative production figures for
the first six months of this year are
offered in support of the forecast
During this period there were pro-
duced approximately 100000 skies as
compared with approximately 1885,
600 fours, an indication of what the
total for the year is apt to be-.
How the change comes about is illu-
strated in the survey. Chevrolet's
manufacturing goal for the year is
$4,000 cars. Chevrolet's change
over from a four to a six means de-
duction of this enormous total from
the four cylinder field and adds it to
the six cylinder field.
How the automobile picture has
changed almost over night will be
noted in an inspection of the 1928
showing. Last year when Chevrolet
was producing a four cylinder car,
four cylinder manufacturers built ap-
proximately 2,09S,000 cars, with one
large manufacturer of four cylinder
cars on limited production due to
model change, while six cylinder man.
ufacturers were making $4,000 cars.
AS it now stands the year 1929
should show approximately 100000
six cylinder units as compared to
only 2,25O.O0O four cylinder units.
Consequently this significant devel-
opment, which will make the current
year an epOchal one in the annals of
the automobile business, comes about
chiefly as result Of the entrance Of
Chevrolet into the six cylinder field.
In lay circles, this event is seen as a
tribute to the automobile industry and
the newest step which this gigantic
business has taken in the direction
of constantly offering its patrons more
automobile per dollar.
Great volume production, coupled
with expert direction in the engineer
ing, manufacturing and selling
branches of the business are given as
reasons that are making it possible
for the automobile industry to lead all
others in giving the public the ut
most for its money.
