Auto output to hit four million in 1923
The industry reports an output around 3.4 million for January through October and expects year end production to reach about 4,000,000 cars. Despite curtailments, demand remains strong with 1923 ahead of 1922, aided by unfilled orders for closed cars and robust Southern and Pacific coast demand. Leaders foresee price reductions early next year with several makers targeting around 1,000 dollars and more efficient production driving continued gains.
