CHEVROLET PONTIAC oLdsmobile OAKLAND BUiCK VAUXHALL CADILLAC CMC TRUCKS lf T f i rm-M* ,i | ‘ Mfe.iiil? '■ HE Petone works of General Motors New Zealand Limited have now commenced operations. Here, where just seven months ago was a vacant expanse of unproductive ground, now stand two vast buildings, covering a total area of over 133,000 square feet. A huge operation that reflects the confidence of General Motors in the industrial future of the Dominion and their desire to render more complete service to the New Zealand car buyer. Already over 250 New Zealand men and women are finding employment in this new industry, and it is anticipated that many more will be engaged before the end of th? year. The most important activity centres on the assembly of Chevrolet cars and trucks. Absolutely every process necessary to this work is being carried out. Here all necessary parts come in, separately grouped ahd boxed to effect the maximum saving in freight, and, under modern production methods, are built up into the complete vehicle, ready for the road. , To the tune of a riveter the frame grows together and swings into place on the assembly line. From an overhead conveyor the engine drops into position, and —'operation, by operation—the chassis moves along, taking shape and form as it moves. Here, too, genuine Fisher Bodies are completely built up from hundreds of separate wood and steel units, and their metal sheathings electrically welded and Duco finished. Even the upholstery and hoods are made up right on the spot by a battery of machines. And thus the Chevrolet reaches the end of the line, a car as finely complete as any modern motor plant could produce yet with approximately 3,000 distinct operations in its manufacture having been performed by New Zealand hands. So now, when you buy a Chevrolet through your local retail distributor, you will know that it has been completely assembled by New Zealand labour in a New Zealand factory—and that when you buy you are contributing directly to the economic welfare of your country.
