Chevrolet

Chevrolet is an American automotive manufacturer that was established in 1911. Also commonly known as Chevy, the company was founded by its namesake, Louis Chevrolet, and William C. Durant, the founder of General Motors. Chevrolet grew and in 1918, it acquired a controlling interest in General Motors, with Chevrolet becoming GM’s entry level brand. The first offering was the Series C, yet it was models such as the Series 490 and Superior that established Chevrolet as one of the United States’ most popular automotive manufacturers. The company would go on to create important cars such as the Bel Air, Impala, and Camaro, while also creating revered truck models like the Advance Design, Task Force, and C/K. Even with such a rich history of significant models, none is more highly regarded than the legendary Chevrolet Corvette.
