CHEVROLET
A Brief History of Chevrolet
It is not uncommon to see plenty of Chevrolets on the roads of Collin County. Chevrolet, colloquially known as Chevy, was founded on November 3, 1911 by Swiss racecar driver and automotive engineer Louis Chevorlet with William C. Durant. The first Chevrolet, the Series C Classic Six, debuted in 1913 at the New York Auto Show. The Chevrolet bowtie logo is said to have originated from a pattern Durant saw in his French hotel room. Over time, Chevrolet would use several different iterations of the bowtie logo at the same time, often using blue for passenger cars, gold for trucks, and an outline (often in red) for cars that had performance packages.
In 1916, Durant purchased a controlling interest in General Motors. After the deal was completed in 1917, Durant became president of General Motors, and Chevrolet was merged into GM as a separate division. From there, Chevrolet's factories were located in Flint, Michigan, and branch assembly locations were located in Tarrytown, N.Y., Norwood, Ohio, St. Louis, Missouri, Oakland, California, and Ft. Worth, Texas, Beginning in 1919, GMC commercial trucks were rebranded as Chevrolet. Chevrolet pioneered the small-block V8 engine in 1955, a basic engine concept that has remained in continuous production since that time, longer than any other mass-produced engine design in the global automotive industry. In 1953, Chevrolet produced the Corvette, a two-seater sports car with a fiberglass body. By 1963, one in ten vehicles in the United States was a Chevrolet. In the 1960s and 70's, Chevrolet became one of America's best-selling car brands in history. Whether you are in Plano, Richardson, Murphy, Lucas, or Garland, you can bring your Chevy to Sav-Mor Automotive for any repairs and services.
