Chevrolet Prices Cut Across Northern California Dealers
Chevrolet dealers in Northern California and Western Nevada slashed prices on all new models by up to 292. A H Kenny, president of the Oakland Zone Chevrolet Dealers Association, said cuts of 183 to 333 would reduce dealers profits and not reflect all factory price drops. Plymouth and Ford dealers may follow. Kenny cited an untapped economy minded market, especially young married buyers, as justification for the move. Charles French of the Northern California Plymouth Dealers Association said serious consideration is being given and a good chance exists for similar reductions.
