Find Used Chevrolet Cars in Utah
William C. Durant, who
previously worked for General Motors, joined
forces with racecar driver Louis Chevrolet,
and founded the Chevrolet Motor Car Company
in 1911. The first vehicle to be produced
was the next year, and it was called the
Classic Six. It was designed as a
five-passenger touring sedan that could
supposedly reach 65 miles per hour,
impressive in that day. It also came
standard with lights and a folding top. The
next vehicle was the 490, and it achieved
overwhelming success. This was rolled out in
1915. When Chevrolet reached a large profit,
Durant purchased enough shares in GM to
regain control. Thus, Chevrolet became a
division of GM, and by the 1920s was the
company’s largest division. The company
reached a highlight in 1927, when it outsold
Ford. They were the first to include
independent front suspension, on their cars,
giving riders a much smoother experience. In
the 1950’s, Chevy introduced the
technologies of power brakes, seats and
windows, adding a taste of luxury to an
affordable car. This decade also saw the
first Corvette. The next achievement for
Chevy was to offer the first domestic
production car with all-round independent
suspension, and it was named the Corvair.
Two other hit makers in this era were the
compact Nova and the Camaro, Chevrolet’s
competition to the Ford Mustang. The Camaro
made great strides and was a big sales item
for the company. When the gas crisis hit in
the 1970’s, Cheverlet, like many
manufacturers answered the public need for a
small car. They came out with the Vega and
the Chevette, which were basically downed
models of the Caprice and Malibu. The 1980’s
brought a popularity growth of SUVs and
trucks, and once again Chevy answered the
trend. And today these mid and full size
models are some of the company’s best
sellers.
