Let’s jump up 13 years from 1926 to 1939 and see what the numbers look like.
1939 shows Chevy in the lead for production numbers with 577,278 units produced. Ford is about 100k behind at 487,031 (half of what they were producing in 1926). The rest of the makers finished up like this:
Plymouth 423,850
Buick 208,259
Dodge 186,474
Pontiac 144,340
Oldsmobile 137,239
Studebaker 85,834
Also in 1939 Mercury came on the scene with its 239 CID V8 making about 95 hps and hydraulic brakes.
Lincoln-Zephyr only sold 650 pieces.
Part of the Studebaker’s 85k cars were its light pickup truck, the Coupe-Express was powered by the Commander Six, knocking out 90 hps.
