Developments in Automobile Field as Described by Agents Standardized Auto Maintenance For Tourists Standardized automobile mainte- nance has made -all roads easy for the 1929 tourist army. Thousands of motorists are head ing into the dim distances and e joying the greatest of all highway vacation seasons as never before. anks to this develorment, to standard service tools ard to better service educaticn, according to Nash Motors company engineers, Who have completed a mid-summer sur- vey of the national conveniences of- | vered motor pilgrims in every novk and corner of the country. The survey shows ¢hat Nash main- tenance has reached the height ol its development following vears of intensive study and constant 1m- provement, insisted on by C. W. Nash as one of the foundations of his highly successful maaufacturing policy. For years it has been cn uxiom with Mr. Nash that courteous attention to the needs of the car owner is as vital after he has pur- chased his car as it is when he is ales prospect. One dissatisfied owner more harm to an organizaticn of any <ind than a hundred satisfied own ors can mend,” he has told Nash di tributors, dealers, and their wot ing forces during scores of personal inspection trips. Service facilities wre always a point of particular in- lerest for the ndustrial leader, =nd can cause lie makes it a point wherever ;os- | sible to address all of the men who are responsible for the welfare und car comfort of Nash owners. While the great sh factories continue the quality manufacture of the new type “400" cars, whose low \intenarce requirements have be- ome a manufacturing zchievem nt comparable to their sales popularity, tne of the greatest maintenance or: ganizations developed by the auto mobile industry is seeking constant improvement in the care of cars. Improved methods and mainte- nance practice keep step with chang- ing motoring conditions through reg- ular factory meetings of all service managers in which the high- est officials of the company take a prominent part Oakland Present Lines To Be Continued No material mid-season changes will be made in the 1929 :nodels of the Oakland All-American Six and the Pontiac Big Six, it is announced by W.

In . ’, 7l fact, according to observers, this ]leal man’s Ashes Will more than three times as many six | cylinder cars as were ever produced | by a manufacturer during a liks | period. The record-making model, prob- | ably the most famous of all Chev. | volet record cars, rolled off the as sembly line at the huge Flint, Mich., plant of August 5. It happened to| be a sedan—the new Imperial Se- dan, introduced a few weeks ago. The glistening record-breaker was {welcomed at the end of the assem- Lly line by W. S. Knudsen, president, and other high Chevro'et officials. Without any ceremony the car left the plant for Detroit where it was presented as one of the interesting | exhibits that was a part of the mam- | moth Chevrolet sales convention in | Detroit, August 14-15,16. The en- tire Chevrolet sales supervisory fores of nearly 2,000 men were on hand for the biggest convention of its| kind ever held by the company. It is also significant to note, from | automobile registrations, that | January 1, 1927, the Chevrolet Mo- | tor Company has built and producca to date more automobiles than any other manufacturer in the world. Also, Chevrolet sales for the fir: time in the history of the company were greater in July than they were | in June, which still further empha- | sis the constantly increasing popu- | linder car. The De Soto Six Sets New Record During the past twelve months, the De Soto Six has broken all ex isting sales records for any first- year car in the entire history of ahe automobile industry. The statement was authorized to- day by L. G. Peed, general sal manager of the De Soto Motor Cor- poration, at Detroit. Riding on the crest of a wave of popularity that began when it was first introduced, De Soto completed |its first year with sales of more than 80,000 cars—a new world's | record for a first-year car. Che actual figures <) | 065 De Soto Sixes had been shipped from the plant since Augu.. - year,”” Mr. Peed declared. “All previous records for first-year ca regardless of class or price, have been broken by De Soto, evidence of the enthuiastic manner in which the Inew car has been accepted by the automobile buying public. “This first year has been a year of achievement.
