HISTORY OF CHEVROLET/DODGE One of the worlds best selling cars was started by cigar smoking William Crapo Durant, a prominent carriage builder. In collaboration with race car driver, Louis Chevrolet, on November 3, 1911 Chevrolet entered the market to compete with the Ford model T. The first offering was the 'Classic Six'. It was too expensive so Durant went to a small four cylinder simple car calling it 'the little four”. The first major impact came with the four cylinder BABY GRAND touring car and its companion roadster model, the ROYAL MAIL. Then came the famous BOW TIE.........It was trademarked in 1913 and became the most recognizable automobile emblem in the world. General motors acquired Chevrolet in 1917. The 'cast iron wonder' was introduced in 1929, a 3.2 liter international 6. Over one million were sold at $595 in the first year. Amazing.............this engine continued to be manufactured until 1953. Chevrolet, an American tradition. The first Chevrolet trucks were produced in 1918. They were just beefed up cars, and they looked it. The start up production was a mere 890 units. However, in ten short years, Chevrolet produced its first half million truck. By 1939, there were 45 models on eight wheel bases. The Dodge brothers, John and Horace, originated the company in Detroit. The brothers were early stockholders and engine builders for the Ford Motor Co. before producing their first car in November 1914. They were great workers and knew the business. Their first car was noted for its extra styles. It featured 12 volt electrics and back to front gear changes. By 1924, they were producing 1000 cars per day. In 1928, the company was sold to Walter P. Chrysler for a whopping $175,000,000. Numerous developments occurred over the years under Chrysler's management.
