GM Maintains Export Sales Lead in 1998 DETROIT, May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- General Motors (NYSE: GM) continued to lead in the number of vehicles it exports to world markets from the United States and Canada. GM reported export shipments of 45,692 vehicles in the first quarter of 1998. Ford was second with 39,344 vehicles followed by Chrysler with 27,309 vehicles. GM's 1998 first quarter totals were an increase of 20.6 percent over its 1997 first quarter totals and 23.8 percent ahead of the same quarter in 1996 reflecting a steady upward progression on a year-to-year basis. "GM's first quarter results and the upward trend over the past several years are solid indicators that GM is effectively competing on a global basis," said John Costin, executive director, GM International Product Center. "We plan to step up our efforts to maintain our export sales lead and expect substantial increases with the introduction of our new full-size pickup and the launches of our right-hand-drive Cadillac Seville and Chevrolet Blazer and Suburban in a number of international markets."
