Publication: The New York Times
Topic: Chevrolet
Production of automobiles by the Chevrolet Motor Company division of the General Motors Corporation in the first seven months this year totaled 869,297 cars and trucks, breaking all records of the company for similar periods. This means that the millionth car to be built in 1928 will come off the production line early in September, W. S. Knudsen, President of Chevrolet Motors, said yesterday. More than 800,000 of this year's Chevrolets are already in the hands of purchasers, it was indicated. With fourteen factories in operation at the highest Summer rate in the history of the company, Chevrolet's daily production now is about 5,000 cars. The Ford Motor Company's production, according to recent figures, is averaging about 4,300 units daily.
