DAYTONA BEACH A global shortage of computer chips is resulting in record low inventories of new cars and trucks at auto dealerships throughout the country, including here in the Volusia-Flagler area.
Glenn Ritchey Sr., president and CEO of Jon Hall Chevrolet in Daytona Beach, said his dealership currently has barely over 200 new cars and trucks on site at a time of year when he would normally have more than four times that number. It s the lowest inventory of new vehicles that we ve had in the 50 years I ve been with Chevrolet, the veteran auto dealer said.
Ritchey said the same is true of his other Daytona Beach dealerships: Ritchey Cadillac Buick GMC, Daytona Hyundai and Subaru of Daytona.
