The Chevrolet
 From 1916 to 1942



 
 

 
  A number of years ago I saw a one page calendar that showed all the Ford pickup trucks from the first one to the present day. I thought what a nice idea.I thought that I might try something similar with some of the car pictures I have collected.I have been collecting pictures of Studebakers, Packards Nash, Hudson and Jeeps
for some time now and I first wrote a web page on this page on the Studebaker. Then one on Jeeps  and Packard followed. Then came one Nash and Hudson. I have since added a page on old Pickup Trucks , Hudson, Essex and Terrplanes of 
Australia , Volkswagen  Kaiser and Henry J and then with the 
help of one of my visitors have written one on the Crosley.
All my previous pages had been on orphaned cars but now I thought
I would try one a bit different.
So here is my efford on the Chevrolet

These pictures came for a number of sources including web
pages of the manufacturer, news groups and my own.
Since most of these pictures came from news groups there may be a
chance that your car is shown here.

I would like to invite any one that has a favorite Chevrolet picture or a Web Page that they would like added to this page to E mail me a copy.

A Brief History of the Chevrolet


The Chevrolet began it's life in 1911 when a race car driver and automotive engineer Louis Chevrolet cofounded the Chevrolet Motor Car Company with William C. Durant and investors William Little and Dr. Edwin R. Campbell.
The design for the first Chevy, the Series C Classic Six was drawn up by Etienne Planche and was ready for production long before Chevrolet was actually incorporated.
This design was made by M. Etienne Planche on 15 March 1911 at a garage premises at number 707, later 3939 Grand River Avenue, Detroit. It appears that the small second story space above the garage was used for new engine design and construction only. Prototypes of the Chevrolet were produced in what would today be called a "pilot plant" in the 1145, West Grand Boulevard Plant that was used between August 1911 and August 1913. 
By November 3, 1911 The Chevrolet Motor Car Company entered the turbulent automobile market.
Durant envisioned his new company as an inexpensive competitor to the Ford Model T.
He chose to name the company after its designer, Louis Chevrolet, because he liked the sound of the name and because Chevrolet was a prominent name in motor sports.
The Chevrolet family was poor and Louis was given only a basic education before he left home. He was not capable to be a designer/drawer, but got a great deal of technical experience, first in the wine and bicycle business in Europe, and then with several car dealers in New York after arrival in 1900. After joining the racing car business, chasing Barney Oldfield and others with success he was engaged by Durant first to the Buick racing team No. 1 with his brother, and later as a consultant adviser  for the new car Durant had in mind. 
Finally in 1934,  GM put Louis Chevrolet on their payroll as a mechanic in one of the factories. Illness forced him to retire in 1938.
However the Louis' car: The Classic Six was far too expensive (USD 2100,-) to compete with the T-Ford, so Durant had to skip the big, expensive car and go for small, simple ones as the Little Four. As before, Louis disagreed. He "lost" his name to the car, but left with $10,000 and 100 shares in the Chevrolet Motor Car Company, and started working with another racing enthusiast, Albert Champion, on his racing career again.

The production of Chevrolet type C Six was so delayed that it became a 1913 model. From April 1912 until end of the year the Little Motor Company (owned by Chevrolet Motor Co.) produced 2999 Little Four's. All had "Little" as the emblem on the radiator (not Chevrolet). Regrettably there is still the published misnomer that Chevrolet built 2999 Classic Sixes as 1912 models as its first year of production.  The first Chevrolet Six was ready for the dealers 2nd Jan. 1913, and was delivered to the first consumer 13th March. During July and August of 1914, all the remaining parts were used up and the Type C Classic production ended at Flint. Advertisements in August 1913 announced that the Little cars were now to be called "Chevrolets". Its 299 cubic inch, 6 cylinder engine could reach a top speed of 65 miles per hour. 
The Chevrolet Bow Tie has been one of the World's most recognized trademarks since 1913, when William C. Durant first introduced the symbol that represents Chevrolet's winning success! The Bow Tie was used on the renamed Little cars for the 1914 season (late 1913).
A story in Chevrolet Pro Management Magazine, October 1986, which was copied in the May 1987 G&D, told that W.C. Durant did not copy the design from the wallpaper in a French hotel room, and that according to Mrs. Durant, the bow tie emblem was first seen by her husband in an illustrated Virginia newspaper, while they were vacationing in Hot Springs, Virginia around 1912. Mrs. Durant was quoted as recalling, "We were in a suite reading the papers, and he saw this design and said, 'I think this would be a very good emblem for the Chevrolet' " She did not explain how the newspaper used the emblem.
Chevrolet first used the Bowtie emblem in 1913. It is said to have been designed from wallpaper Durant once saw in a French hotel but there are several other versions of how the bow tie came about.
The success of the 490 sales in 1915 gave Chevrolet a flying start in the low price market. The 490 sold at that time for $490. However, the 490 was already too under priced when introduced, as all margins had been as low as possible from start. Ford fought back by reducing his price (several times) and Durant had to increase the price for his 490's after some few months. He could not challenge the continuously cheaper T-Ford mass production, so Durant used a different method of competing. he added sought after features like electric lights and starter etc. and he introduced the closed bodies to capture some of the low price market. This method worked. 
Ford was far ahead with much higher volume, but Durant made much higher profits on each car, which was one of the reasons that he was able to regain the ownership in GM in 1916. 
Chevrolet continued to improve their cars and add options that the public wanted. Chevrolet offered the first radio option in 1924.
Chevrolet sold it's first truck in 1918 and in that year joined GM Corporation. 
GM nearly went out of business in 1920, when up to 100,000 cars of the "490" were stored at the
factories, unsold for some time.

1927 was a year that Chev will never forget. Chevrolet outsold Ford by topping 1 million units for the first time. In all but four of the next 55 years, Chevrolet was the top selling American nameplate. 
However Chevrolet didn't do as good as it at first appeared. The main reason why Chevrolet 
reached # 1 position 1927 was the fact that Ford closed his factories for several months to change all production lines to make the A-Fords, leaving his share of the market open for Chevrolet and Chrysler.

 This car was supposed to have come from CANADA - sent to
Sth Africa for the canadian airforce during the war - was then
purchased by someone and apparently knocked down and sent to Australia,  with another  whole car, in a crate. The people never assembled her and eventually - according to the story - they went 
to an antique dealer for furniture and were short of money so
Charlotte was part of the payment. The old fellah then put it 
together - probably about 20 yrs ago. Consequently the mileage 
is around 10,000 miles! 
The "putting together" is very average and eventually
we will spruce her up.

He had the following to say about them.

"The vehicle was traded in on a new Holden wagon in 
Aug 1963.
I remember my dad teaching me how to drive in 
it on a trip from Melbourne to Adelaide in about 1960
and just west of the Vic/South Australia border the
landscape becomes quite desert like. Anyway I was driving
and looked out of the left hand window and saw an equally 
old car parallel to me on the other side of some scrub.
I mentioned it to dad who couldn't work it out because 
the only thing we knew to be there was the main railway 
line between both cities. After a while we came to a more
open patch and saw that there was indeed
an old American style car driving at the same speed
as us, the only thing was in was on the railway tracks; it 
was a railway vehicle carrying a maintenance crew. 
It was the first time we had seen such a vehicle.
The Chev had a 6 cylinder engine and 3 forward gears. 
I now own a 1989 Nissan Patrol 4x4 and I still think the 
Chev was the more solid of the two."

 This car is owned by Keith Rasmussen.
He tells me that there were 124,059 of this model built as
compared to  220,181 of the Master Deluxe version. 
 The Master 85 had less chrome then the Master Deluxe, 
but the main difference was the leaf spring front suspension.
The Master Deluxe included a new 'Knee action' front
suspension which was similar to later models, but found to 
be less effective in it's inaugural year.

The picture was taken on New Mexico's Black Range "highway" in
