Cors Avoiloble

Although oldsmobne dealers
sold more used cars during the
first three months OF this year
than in any corresponding period
in company history. demand for
safe. dependable transportation
will rise 10 even higher levels dur
ing the next few weeks, according
TO D. f. Ralston, Oldsmobile's een-
eral sales manager, in a report 10
Ed Munson OF the Munson Motor
company. Tscoms's exclusive Odds
mobile dealer.
Ralston based his prediction not
only on seasonal trends and i'm
proved business conditions but op
the quality Of the used cars now
offered on the market.
Due to an unprecedented new
ear demand. buyers today have
options Of more style, value and
variety than the used ear market
has ever offered said Ralston.
Because OF these options, mora,
buyers are able to find the kind
Of car best suited to their midi
vidual needs.
"Oldsmobile dealers this year
are offering a wide selection Of
used cars that are priced to meet
every buyers requirements and
poeketbook. This big variety and
choice is due. primarily. to the
fact that Oldsmobile's 1e41 line
of cars covers all price fields with
the possible exception of the very
highest. In addition, the general
economic condition has prompted
many owners of late model cars
to buy a new Oldsmobile at an
earlier date than normal. This.
Of course, has added 10 dealers
stocks many high quality used
cars with low mileage"
Ralston also cited that improved
employment conditions had aided
used car sales.
Buyers are conscious" he said,
''of the smart styles offered in
present inventories as well as the
thousands of miles Of trouble-free
transportation. The tendency to-
day Is to replace old, unsafe cars
with modern, safety-tested trans-
portation before prices are in
creased" he added.
