Bill Holler
1925: Joined Chevrolet sales promotions department
1933: Succeeded Harry Klingler as Chevy general sales manager
1936: Under his leadership, Chevy set division record with 930,250 sales
1942-45: Because of production halt during World War II, Chevy sold only 83 cars in 1943-44
1945: Retired from Chevy and with 2 sons began selling cars

To say that Bill Holler had a tough act to follow as Chevrolet general sales manager is one of the greatest understatements in the 100-year history of General Motors.
