Photograph was edited for publication purposes Photograph caption dated April 1, 1965 reads, "When the first automobile rolled off the Chevrolet and Fisher Body Plant assembly line in Van Nuys back in 1947--a Fleetmaster--it was considered a pretty modern vehicle, but yesterday alongside the two millionth Chevrolet to roll off the Van Nuys assembly line it looked a little antiquated. Merle Duckett, sitting in the car, tried out the two millionth while John P. Kyper, left, and Robert W. DeCelle inspected the exterior."
