Whiskers Running Out?

Band and boosters enlived the

color and gaiety Friday night

when colorful parades, blaring
band music and carnival events
will come to life again after the
war period repose, G o 1 d
adorned caps, whiskers that are
a mere whisper of what our
father produced, are the thing
with the men in Atkinson now.
Maybe this generation of men
have shaved until the growth is

Announcing a Fair and Equitable Car Distribution Plan for the
Benefit of Chevrolet Dealers in All Parts of America
The Chevrolet Motor Division of the General Motors Corporation, announces a Master plan for
the distribution of new cars to Chevrolet Dealers throughout the nation, which is designed to enable
them to meet the buying demands of all sections and all groups in the fairest possible way.
It is the goal of Chevrolet to meet the motoring requirements of the Nation in the most uniform
manner, thus assuring an even flow of cars into ail communities, large and small, in proper propor
tion to the demand for them. The Chevrolet distribution plan is designed to make certain that the
rights and equities of every Chevrolet Dealer—, and through the dealer, every Chevrolet buyer—,
are protected, with equal justice to all groups and all parts of the country. The Objective of the
plan is to meet, in so far as we are able to do so, the motoring needs of men and women of metro
politan America—, of Agricultural America, of ail America, with complete fairness and impartiality,
and as swiftly as the many Chevrolet plants can turn out the cars and place them in the hands of
our dealers.
Based on Dealers’ 1941 Model Sales
Under the plan, allotments of new enrs will be based on the individual dealer’s sales of 1941
model cars. The program embraces the entire country and will remain in effect until Oct, 31, 1947.
Establishment of this carefully developed plan of dealer distribution, not only recognizes the
Chevrolet dealers who met their responsibilities to the public during the war emergency, by main
taining active service facilities, hut also provides every Chevrolet dealer the opportunity to he served
in the most satisfactory manner.
The Chevrolet Motor Division’s grc»at objective of meeting the motoring needs of all customers
in the fairest possible way is, of course, in the final analysis, the direct concern of all Chevrolet deal
ers. We believe that every Chevrolet dealer will deliver cars in accordance with his best judgment,
taking into full consideration the needs of all motorists of his community and the importance of
meeting the vital requirements of those whoso transportation needs are extremely serious.
Needless to say, Chevrolet dealers cannot fill the orders of all buyers of new Chevrolet cars
simultaneously or_ overnight, much as they would like to do so, but they will meet the unprecedented
demand for new Chevroleis just as soon as this becomes possible.
Fair and Impartial Treatment To All
It is our firm belief that through the carefully developed dealer distribution plan, more people
can he satisfied and saisfied more quickly—, than through any other method of new car appor
tionment, because it will result in the most accurately proportionate and speedy distribution of new
cars to Chevrolet dealers and, through them, to the public.
The Chevrolet Motor Division is confident that Chevrolet dealers appreciate the complete fair
ness which guides our distribution of new cars t them and that they will cooperate fully in follow
ing the same broad, equitable principles in the local distribution of new cars which they receive under
the Chevrolet program.
Meanwhile, the Chevrolet Motor Division wishes to express its sincere gratitude for the patience
and good w’ill which both the public and the Chevrolet dealers are displaying during this period of
ear shortages.
Chevrolet Motor Division, General Motors Corporation, Detroit
The announcement of the Chevrolet Motor Division, as reproduced above, has appeared of
i late in a great number of newspapers over the country. It is quite explanatory as to the basis
as used by the factory in the allotment of cars to the dealers of Chevrolet.
The basis for ^distribution of new cars to our customers, as appearing on the right, has been
ready for release for some time, and we have been operating under that plan with the very few
cars that we have received. Inasmuch as automobiles are again under OP A control, we now
make announcement of that plan of distribution.
Announcement of Distribution Plan of
New Chevrolet Cars
The distribution plan as adopted by us gives proper recognition to customers who have purchased
new Chevrolet cars, trucks or pickups or used cars, trucks or pickups from us in the past- to the
returned serviceman that resides in our territory that is in need of a new car; to the new customers
of our service department who wish to drive Chevrolets and remain our customer; and also to the
customer who spends his service dollar with us; and to ourselves, in that we must maintain a strong
and active dealer organization able to give prompt and dependable service work, and carry ample
stocks of supply parts, in that the Chevrolet owners’ investment is protected in the future.
..... VV* do ”ot wish t0 P|ace ourselves in a position of mistrust in any manner, nor incur any lia
bMity for the non-compliance with existing Office of Price Administration regulations or such regu
I a lions (hat may apply in the future. We feel that ceilinp prices as established by the OPA and
now in effect, should be maintained as long as an acute shortage of new or used cars exists in
order to keep prices within reach of as many people as possible. All new cars, trucks or pickups
and used cars, trucks and pickups will be sold hy us on the basis of existing ceiling prices at time of
sale. Likewise trade-in values of used cars, trucks or pickups will be arrived at by applying the
proper ,0,1 A value in each case. These prices will be used by us until such time as cars'are de
controlled by the OF A. or until such time as the market should bring values on such cars below the
ceiling prices as established by OPA.
We do not believe in the theory of black market prices for either new or used cars, and we will
accept your used car on the purchase of a new Chevrolet at a value as-determined by the OPA regu
lations in order that you may have a ready market for it without going into the black market in
order to dispose of it at a fair price, or we will purchase any used car offered to us that is market
able and when reconditioned will make a dependable used car, this also applies to trucks and pickups.
Here is the manner in which cars will be allotted:
1st. The first cars will go to doctors, mail carriers, large fleet operators in essential work, or other
highly essential workers, who are our customers at this time and in the past.
2nd. Approximately 12% of the cars that we receive will go to ex-servicemen that are in need of
a new car, according to relationships with them or their families in the past.
3rd. Approximately 12% of the cars that we will receive will go to new customers with whom we
have made contact during the war period and wish to remain as our customers
4th. The balance of cars or approximately 75% of the cars that we receive will be allotted to cus
tomers on a rating basis which we have compiled hy taking the total cars as purchased liv
customers in the past and adding thereto the service dollars spent with us in our shop depart
ment up to date, which figure we have reduced to points, to obtain this equitable rating basis
through this fair and impartial plan of distribution of new- cars that we will receive in 1946 and
1947, we will get in contact with the customer when his allotted car is available for him at which
time he may pass, if he does not want a new car. However until such tinte as we are able‘to guaran
tee delivery within thirty days, and until such time as new cars are decontrolled, we cannot accept
orders for cars.
New car production at this time is very low and only a small part of the 1941 production rate
It is not anticipated that the 1941 production rate will be attained this year due to shortages of
steel, copper and other raw materials. We sincerely trust that you will bear with us, until such time
as a car is available for you. In the meantime, we suggest that you keep your present car in a safe
and dependable operating condition.
