Here is my blurb on the history of Chevy; History of the Chevy Truck In 1909, William Durant, a successful buggy manufacturer from Flint, Michigan, asked Louis Chevrolet, a well known race car driver, to help design a car for introduction to the public. On November 3, 1911, the Chevrolet Motor Car Company enters the automobile market. In 1918, the first Chevy truck sold. Chevy joins GM Corporation. In 1927, Chevrolet outsells Ford by topping 1 million units for the first time. In all but four of the next 55 years, Chevrolet is the top-selling American nameplate. In 1941, more than 1.6 millions cars and trucks, are sold by Chevy. This is the last year, chevy trucks and cars are produced for public sale until 1946 - after WWII. In 1972, Chevrolet introduces its first small pickups, dubbed, "light utility vehicles." and in 1987 the all-new C/K Pickups debut as 1988 models. In 1994, the Tahoe is named Motor Trend's "Truck of the Year." and Chevrolet becomes the first company ever to win Motor Trend's "Truck of the Year" award in two consecutive years. In 1998 the 1999 Silverado Pickup is introduced, and wins Motor Trend's 1999 "Truck of the Year" award. In 1959, the smaller cousin to the Chevy truck, the first El Camino Pickup is released.
