OUR DISTRIBUTION PLAN
The distribution of New Chevrolet cars that we receive is
made under the basis of the plan that we adopted in 1945 and
which was published in 1946, wherein approximately 1 percent
of the cars go to doctors and mail carriers, who were our custo
mers prewar, 24 percent to Veterans and new customers, and the
balance of 75 percent to old customers according to the rating
that we compiled and according to the number of cars and trucks
each old customer had purchased from us prior to January 1st,
1944 and the amount of service work dollars that he had spent
with us during the years of 1944 and 1945.
This plan has worked in an equitable manner and has been
fair to all, and according to the publication of the plan it will
remain in effect until October 31st, 1947. We will make public
announcement of our distribution plan that we will follow on
and after November 1st, 1947, sometime in the preceding month
of October, and it will be based on whatever plan the factory
uses in the distribution of cars to us.
CONDITIONS OF SALE
AND THE
BLACK MARKET
We are following the suggested prices as furnished to us by
the factory and which are reprinted in this advertisement. We
will not accept overpayments, “side money,” or any other induce
ment for the immediate sale of any new Chevrolet.
Whenever goods are scarce or short, such as new cars, there
is always a good opportunity to sell what you have at a price
above it is considered to be worth. This creates a “black” mar
ket, and it is unfortunate that new cars get into this market as
the public will accuse legitimate dealers of selling to such oper
ators or at such prices. Most of these cars come from Individ
uals that sell the new car at a huge profit which was obtained
from the dealer at the regular price.
Due to the new car shortage, used cars are also in demand
and we believe that if we secure the used car from the custo
mer at a fair price, when he receives the new Chevrolet from us,
that we can help to obtain transportation for the used car buy
er, and user, who has made requests of us for such cars, and also
Wep such cars from reaching excessive prices.
WHY NEW CHEVROLET CARS,
TRUCKS* PICKUPS
ARE SCARCE
Production of new Chevrolet auto
mobiles, trucks, and pickups in 1945.
was virtually of no consequence due
to conversion from war to peacetime
production. However, in 1946 pro
duction, while greater than other
manufacturers, was only half of what
had been planned. Likewise, produc
tion for 1947 has been very disap
pointing and will continue to be co the
balance of this year and well into
1948.
Lack of production has been
brought about by labor conditions and
shortages that are very acute in sheet
and strip steel. Although demand for
new Chevrolets is many times the de
mand of 1941, still production is still
far below that of that year.
There is nothing to indicate that
new Chevrolets will be much more
plentiful (than they are at present
time) for at least a year.

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
As a condition of sale and delivery of any car, truck or
nickup the prices shown also include an agreement and repur
chase option to be given by the buyer to us as dealer, covering
such vehicle as he is receiving, which prohibits the sale of such
vehicle by the buyer, except under certain conditions. This
agreement has become necessary to stop the black market in
new cars.
The automobile is the only important consumer pro
duct made in volume, that is being sold by the manu
facturer and all legitimate and responsible dealers, at
prices below what a great number of people are willing
to pay for such automobile.
WE URGE YOU
. . . to keep your present car in good operating condition until
such time as you can obtain your new Chevrolet. Our parts de
partment is ever ready to serve you to the best of our ability
with the parts that you need.
We maintain a large and well equipped service department,
that can perform any repair operation on your car or truck.
