history in October, despite recently introduced competition.

The record-breaking sales were part of the best October sales that
Chevy's truck lineup has ever had. The sport utility vehicle (SUV)
sales increases, however, were the most impressive:

Other significant increases included Chevrolet C/K Full-size Pickup
sales, jumping 29 percent for the month compared with the year ago
period (49,695 v. 37,050), and Astro Van, with sales increasing 20
percent for October versus October 1995 (9,769 v. 7,850).

Chevrolet SUV sales also made the largest percentage gains in the
truck lineup for the calendar year. Suburban sales for the calendar
year through October increased 20 percent (77,519 v. 64,293) compared
with the year ago period. Tahoe, for the same period, jumped 74
percent (104,432 v. 60,094), and Blazer posted a 17 percent gain
