My dad worked for Chevrolet for 42 years. Started at the Corvette Assembly Plant in St.Louis, Missouri 1965. Corvette moved to Bowling Green, KY in 1981 and he worked there until he retired. He was a electrician and maintenance foreman. In 1988 he bought a new Chevy S10 5 speed truck. He bought it to drive back and forth to work at the plant. I still own that truck and drive it every day. The red paint was all faded and the little iron 4 cylinder engine was quite tired. So I had the engine rebuilt and a new victory red paint job put on it. Now it’s the best looking and best preserved S10 around here. Looks just like it did the day he bought it new 👍🏻. Somebody tries to buy it everywhere I go but I always say sorry it’s not for sale. I been riding in it since I was 2 years old and driving it since I could reach the pedals. It’s a member of the family

Finally a decent video on Chevy history. Very interesting video, thank you.

My dad and his whole family owned Chevrolets and that's mostly what I've owned most of my life.

Same here, at first not really by choice, but because of a good price and it had good features. First car was a '71 Impala. It ended up being a great car built like a tank and I kept it 20 years. Then I got a '91 Chevy pickup, drove it 14 years, then bought an '05 Chevy truck, which I still drive. So I've only had three vehicles my entire life and they were all Chevy's. I would have kept the other two also, but I was stupid and listened to friends and family telling me "they're old, get a new one". I wish I would have kept them.

My father worked at a Chevy dealer as a mechanic from 1992 till 2014 we never had anything in our driveway except chevys they still have one with 425k miles I remember when we got it it had 35k miles it's a family car a very reliable one at that it's a 2007 chevy equinox with the v6 all original down to the alternator

My dream car is a 1969/1970 Chevelle SS 396. Fast, better handling than the 454, and drop dead gorgeous!

454 and 396 weigh the same. handling would be the same. small blocks up to 350 cubes would handle better but have less power.

I've always loved Chevrolets and Buicks.

I got my 2014 silverado at age 21 and its been a awesome truck almost 100k and still running strong

Why can't we have a nice nostalgic documentary about the TRUCKS? I have fond memories of my Grandpa's old 1969 Chevrolet C20 pickup...would just LOVE seeing one of these films show models like that one the love they deserve as well...😊

The first car I can remember that my parents had was a 1949 Chevy. The first car I bought was a 1957 2 dr. Hardtop Bel Air. I have a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban right now.

In 1973 a friend told me that he was hired by General Motors to develop a material for their seats that would only last about 5 years. They still practice "planned obsolescence", along with other American auto makers. An obvious example is their partially plastic radiators.

My mom's finest car was her 1977 Chevy Caprice Classic. Two tone blue/blue velour seats. Quiet a smooth to an extreme. Still may be the finest car I ever rode in

I have owned only GM cars and trucks and I can say I have had no major problems on any one of them I had a 99 GMC and when I sold it the truck had 321000 miles and no problems

I have owned a collectable Chevy for over 35 years, a '65 Corvair convertible, just like the one at 1:09. Haven't owned a GM car since. There really aren't Chevys any more but GM cars with Chevy emblems on them. This seems to be 99% Corvette.

My favorite top 10 Chevies that I like is Monte Carlo ss between regular super sport and aero coupe Monte Carlo ss and Camaro that looks like an egg chevelle ss and 90 454 ss truck

92 Chevy Camaro 🥰🥰

The first car I remember was when my parents bought a new '50 Chevy. It had the "dip and splash" straight 6 cylinder. It was a good car. Then, in '57, they bought a new 57 Chevy. It had the Power Pack 283 V8. A gigantic 4 barrel carburetor. Mileage was horrible, but who cared in the late '50's. Gas was around 25 cents per gallon.

Chevrolet has a century long tradition of better style for the same price, still continues today. My 2014 Cruze 2LT has a turbo 16v. engine and has no manufacturer issues after 6.5 years, power, luxury, and economy. My wife's Sonic , the same, great looks, performance, and quality, 4 yrs on no issues. Who needs Toyota or Honda? I sure don't.

This really skips a lot of the Chevrolet models from the teens. It briefly skips over Louis Chevrolet and then you're in the 30s.

Chevrolet built some nice classic cars my personal favorite is the 1962 Corvette. Chevrolet has not built much if anything since the Mid 1970s worth owning. However, I would recommend anyone buying a "modern" Chevrolet buy yourself a good pair of shoes because you will be walking soon this based on my personal experience with 2 chevy S-10s and one Chevrolet Malibu and also bad experiences of friends and co-workers with the Chevrolet brand.

not worth owning since 1970? lol speak for yourself bud. i have a 98 monte carlo that i paid 2400 for and after 4 years with 190k miles. its still chugging along. i have even bounced this car off the ground and it didn't cause any damage except maybe making the alignment a little worse. cosmetically the car has gone to complete shit, but the engine just keeps going and going. and since i bought it the only things i have had to do were basic maintenance stuff. i now have a 2000 camaro that if i take just as good as car of it as i tried too with the monte carlo im sure it will last just as long. but like i said the monte carlo still runs fine and im giving it too my sister and law so she has a car to use.

My family owned two Chevrolets...an Impala and a Caprice. Both LEMONS and since then its Toyota, Lexus, Mercedes...would love to buy a US built car but the build quality is far below others.

Today of Dec 27th 2019, I saw a new Chevy Equanox catch on fire. The SUV rear ended a Japanese car; maybe it was a Toyota or a Nissan, I am not sure. The collision didn't seem that bad. There was some damage on the Japanese sedan but not severe. The Chevy Equinox was in flames, fire rescued took care of it. But I wonder why did that new Chevy Equinox caught on fire in such a low rate speed collusion. I personally would never buy a Gm Product, I have my reasons.

Having a GM man all my life I will never buy another General Motors product I am so disgusted with the way they treat this President and what they are doing you know what screw you General Motors I'd rather by German products anyways anymore
