Chevrolet cars are a popular choice with American drivers and motorists the world over. But would you like to know more about this long-standing American Car brand? This article will tell you all about the founding of the Chevrolet car company and tell you a little bit more about how this manufacturer has grown to become one of the faces of US car manufacturing.
Also affectionately known as the 'Chevy', the Chevrolet car was first founded in 1911 on 8th November by Louis Chevrolet. He was a racing driver who joined forces with William Durant of General Motors in order to create a new brand of vehicles. After being muscled out of the General Motors corporation, Durant went on to take over the Flint Wagon Works and the subsequent control of two car companies. The Chevrolet car brand was started up as part of this conglomerate. The first cars came as part of the Series C Classic Six and the company began to develop its corporate branding. The bowtie emblem was thought up in 1913 and is thought to come from a French wallpaper design.
