From Chevrolet.com:
Chevrolet captured the spirit of 20th Century America, with its “work hard, play hard” ethic. And perhaps no Chevrolet represents this spirit better than the Chevy truck.
Founded in Detroit on Nov. 3, 1911, Chevrolet produced only cars through 1917. The company added its first truck models in January 1918, and has built tens of millions since.
“From the beginning, Chevrolet has offered dependable, long-lasting trucks that help people make a living, enjoy life and get things done,” said Chris Perry, vice president, global marketing and strategy for Chevrolet. “These core values are represented today by our successful Silverado, Tahoe and Suburban models, and by our all-new global mid-size trucks, which build on Chevy’s strong truck DNA.”
Chevrolet has built an amazing variety of trucks for individual and commercial customers over the decades. Read the article here to see 10 noteworthy examples through the decades.

Man Reunited With His 1965 Chevrolet Impala
Herb Younger thought his cherished 1965 Impala SS was out of his life forever when he sold it in the 1980s to pay for his children’s education. Now his car is back with him, an emotional reunion captured on video for all to see.
Chevrolet, keeping with its theme of showcasing authentic moments, created a 60-second TV spot and long-form online version of the real-life homecoming.
Younger bought his Impala new in 1964 and amassed nearly a quarter century of family memories before selling it.
Two decades later, his sons decided to reunite their father with his Impala. After five years of tracking Vehicle Identification Number leads through several states, they finally located their dad’s Impala in Canada and purchased it over the telephone. The car was still in pristine condition.
“It’s not just a car. It’s all the memories and feelings,” said Jared Younger. “It brings all that back.”
Tyrrell-Doyle Chevrolet wishes you a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

Chevrolet Traverse Offers Abundant Storage
From Chevrolet.com:
In a family vehicle like the Chevrolet Traverse crossover, abundant storage can help keep the peace among young rear-seat passengers on long drives. General Motors designers and engineers used the latest 3D virtual reality technology and customer feedback to make it so.
GM Director of Design Quality Matthew Davis says the key lies in understanding where a customer wants certain features to be located. Customers were asked very early in the Traverse’s development about what they carry in their car and where they want to store it. A decade ago, customers wanted places to store CDs and Gameboys. ®, Today, the convenient storage of smartphones, MP3 players and electronic tablets is what matters.
With 116.4 cubic feet of storage, the Traverse offers the most cargo space in its segment along with seating for up to eight.
Customer feedback helped engineers develop an optional family-friendly second-row armrest which unfolds into a tray table while leaving ample storage space for rear-seat passengers.
Recognizing that drivers and passengers riding “shot gun” need a variety of things within arm’s reach, designers created the front center armrest to slide fore and aft, and multiple storage bins can be raised out of the way for unobstructed access to the covered storage bin within the center console.
