100 Greatest Chevrolets of All Time

There is nothing more American than Chevrolet. For 100 years, Chevrolet bowtie logo and defined the American automobile, both on the street and on the racetrack.

Founded by the famous racing driver Louis Chevrolet and GM founder William C. ousted Durant, November 3, 1911, the car company has now seen 10 years of success.

In 1913, his famous bow-tie logo was adopted after a loved During pattern wallpaper with a similar design in a French hotel. At least that's how the story goes.

Two years later, Louis Chevrolet had differences with Durant and sold during its part of the company.A year later, the benefits of Chevy funded buyback During General Motors. He became president of GM and Chevrolet was immediately merged with GM in 1918.

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Chevrolet, we have established this list of the largest Chevys ever, the 100 cars that have done most to build Chevrolet place in the car culture. Cars that have inspired people the emblem of butterfly tattoo on different parts of their bodies.

This means that we do not limit this list to production vehicles.Instead of the list includes race cars - both those based on production and those Chevys driven by motor racing Chevrolet - showcars, concept cars, prototypes and cars movie yet.

The original Bronco was an ORV (Off-Road Vehicle), intended to compete primarily with Jeep CJ models and the International Harvester Scout. The Bronco’s small size riding on a 92-inch (2,300 mm) wheelbase made it popular for off-roading and some other uses, but impractical for such things as towing. The Bronco was Ford’s first compact SUV, and Ford’s compact and midsize SUV niche would be taken by the compact pickup based Ford Bronco II (1984-1990), Ford Explorer (1991-present) and the Ford Escape (2001-present).

The idea behind the Bronco began with Ford product manager Donald N. Frey, who also conceived of the Ford Mustang; and similarly, Lee Iacocca pushed the idea through into production. In many ways, the Bronco was a more original concept than the Mustang; whereas the Mustang was based upon the Ford Falcon, the Bronco had a frame, suspension, and body that were not shared with any other vehicle.

The Bronco was designed under engineer Paul G. Axelrad. Although the axles and brakes were sourced from the Ford F-100 four wheel drive pickup truck, the front axle was located by radius arms (from the frame near the rear of the transmission forward to the axle) and a lateral track bar, allowing the use of coil springs which gave the Bronco a tight (34 ft) turning circle, long wheel travel, and an anti-dive geometry which was useful for snowplowing. The rear suspension was more conventional, with leaf springs in a typical Hotchkiss design. A shift-on the-fly Dana Corp. transfer case and locking hubs were standard, and heavy-duty suspension was an option.

The initial engine was the Ford 170 cu in (2.8 L) straight-6, modified with solid valve lifters, a six-US-quart oil pan, heavy-duty fuel pump, oil-bath air cleaner, and a carburetor with a float bowl compensated against tilting.

Styling was subordinated to simplicity and economy, so all glass was flat, bumpers were simple C-sections, the frame was a simple box-section ladder, and the basic left and right door skins were identical except for mounting holes.
