Chevrolet is more than just a car company - they’re an American institution. Their history is interesting, peppered with lots of fun facts. Here are some of our favorites:
With the introduction of the Chevrolet Sport Coupe, GM marked 1933 by building the 9 millionth Chevy. The 1930s witnessed other innovative design changes to Chevrolets, including vacuum spark control, manifold heat control and the first independent front suspension. The public readily embraced these improvements, so much so that, by 1941, Chevrolet had built 17 million cars, almost doubling its total production in eight years. Chevrolet also was awarded a contract by the U.S. War Department in 1940 to manufacture 75 mm artillery shells for the impending war escalation.
