I bought a 2015 C7 Corvette Stingray. I absolutely loved her. I totaled it one week shy of having it for three years. I bought my new C8 Corvette HTC in October of 2023. Originally, I had ordered a 2023 model. I was notified in July of 2023 that I would be getting the new 2024 model. I absolutely love ❤️ my C8 Corvette HTC. Thank you for the great video.

At 20:42 the lady in the front seat is Mrs. Cliff Durant. She was Adelaide Frost of Grand Rapids. After Cliff died she married Captain Eddy Rickenbacker. She shot herself at age 91.

Great video, but you butchered the name of every European car make.

Brilliant. Love my X351.

The name of his home town is La-Chaux-de-Fonds, nothing to do with a pond. There still are people called Chevrolet living in that part of Switzerland. I assumed the logo was a stylized cross from the Swiss flag, but maybe I'm wrong.

...and now every Chevrolet dealership rips you off. Others do too but this is Chevrolet movie

I'm old and can say for sure that we had quality in the 1950s and 60s. Made to last.

Enzo Ferrari clearly had it backwards, "The Deuce" was easily twice the man that his grandfather had been.

Interesting/informative/entertaining.

Note for edit @29:35 the Chevy Bel Air debuted in '50, not '57. (The car pictured as a '57 is actually a '55)

So what did you do copy the other creator that posted this or are you just reposting your own content because this isn’t new everything in this has been seen before previously what’s up with that?

The Chevrolet division of the General Moters Corporation was for 50 or more was the most successful and profitable automobile brand in the entire world. How the mighty have fallen.

Showing a trimotor as a plane for WWII is not correct. Thelongrange B24 was the correct one. If you are going to run information have the corect stuff atleast.

Henry's only come around once in a generation. Who could compare to this visionary?

I don't know if people actually like feel really bad that he didn't get any compensation for the use of his name but in all honesty, he shouldn't have. That's what happens whenever you forfeit your shares and your name like that. No, you're not going to get any compensation... Keep in mind automotive industry but still pretty much in its infancy at this point. Big name companies for a long time for selling high-end luxury expensive models for the Rich and wealthy. These more or less were just a toy or a novelty for well-off individuals. People like Billy Durant and Henry Ford saw it differently. They wanted the average working person to have a vehicle. Obviously if you're going to build a cheap car for the mass people you're going to make more money at it. That's what business is all about making money.

Excellent video and well researched. I guess many American buyers didn't realise they were buying a French brand no different to Peugeot & Citroen.

Unveiled at NY World's fair on Friday April 17 1964. My birthday.

Ford Moter Company manufacturers light trucks and suvs and a few cars.

The creator of Sirius is a very intelligent MAN. Born a MAN, always a MAN.

I’m a grumpy old man who knows a little about cars from 25 years as an auto journalist. EVs are fine as religious devotional. Also they are fast and quiet. But there’s no free lunch. The grid cannot support a major charging infrastructure no matter how hard you pray. Guess who will pay for that? Build power plants all you like it’s the grid that’s the weak link. And power generation at scale depends on fossil fuels. Lithium is a devil’s bargain. A lithium battery fire is nearly impossible to extinguish. Not to mention hot enough to smelt steel. Range boasts are just BS in cold weather. Ask the man that owns one. Wanna get in line at a charging station behind 5 or 10 unoccupied cars each hogging the thing for 40 minutes? Hope you’re retired with nothing better to do. Charging points mark my words will soon earn the name since there will be no limit on how much they can charge you per juice up. Good ole supply and demand.

I've owned my 68 396 Camaro for 30 years now still puts a smile on my face when I put the pedal to the metal, great video thanks for sharing

Louis Chevelle Chevrolet Jr. The man the myth, the legend.

RIP SAAB😞

GM screwed him over big time.

500th like and well deserved for such a fantastic and informative video sir! Great work. Instant subscription from me.

Wish gm would pay back the money they owe the government 😒

Why is a Mechanic " lowly? " - and you show a 1955 Chevy and say it's a 1957 ... your a DORK !

The US didn't experience a depression-the world did.

Better than ford since day 1

See the USA in a Chevrolet

Credibility is at question in the first minute, when we are told that the far was in Detroit, not rural Dearborn.

You saying the V8 engine was Fords triumph is misleading. It implies that Ford created the first though other V8s existed befor Ford's. Cadillacs had V8 starting in 1915 and Chevrolet had V8s from 1917-1919 for example.

I absolutely LOVE all things Ford. This was so interesting and I loved it! We will only buy Fords at our house for the rest of our days. Currently we have 5 Fords! We love them and they have been incredibly dependable, beautiful and wonderful! thanks Henry and the Deuce for all you did!

Lee Iacocca was responsible for many of those cars, not the Deuce. Hank was jealous of Iaccoca

I read somewhere that, despite the high price of modern Bugattis, the brand spent so much developing it, that they loose money in each car they sell. It was that expensive to make them. Great video, thank you!

Baseball bores me. Hot dogs make me nauseous. I like a slice of apple pie, now and then. Chevrolets, in the 1950's, were no worse than Fords. But Dinah Shore singing "See the USA in your Chevrolet" cloying.

Never heard of the Fronty

It is a shame you don't know the difference between 1956 and 1957 Belair

COME ON GET RIDOF DALE JR. & HARVI C THERE VEARY VEARY RICH GET SOMEBODY THAT NEEDS A JOB ANOUNCING JOB.

Kinda weird to mix real grainy black and white movie film with oversaturated AI images and bold colored captions.

Henry Ford started Ford motor company he is credited Wirth starting Ford. Louis chevrolet was a well known race car driver Gm wanted a name that would catch people's attention. At first chevrolet did not compete with Ford it was a much higher line car. Later they began to compete with Ford and overall still produced a higher quality car.

I like Holden, him my favourite.

Leave it to California to do stupid things and liberals to believe everything CNN says. Sheep.

To say he was passionate about mechanics is an understatement. Great video!

This rendition of the story is full of holes. Poor at best and it makes Billy Durant out to be nothing but a promoter and thief. Totally wrong.

You’re taking a lot of liberties with the true Jaguar story. You neatly skipped the C Type, so I’m bowing out.

I owned and maintained both a 900S and a 900turbo. Unusual automobiles. The forward facing drive shafts, the clutch assemblies, the electrical systems, the part identification system. Very advanced, but quirky. The transmission in The automatically by Borg Warner was not up to the torque output of the 900. The manual transmission shifted only after saying a prayer. Still, I loved these cars. The not so silent silent chain that connected the engine to the tranny made such a sweet wine, along with the turbo. Those days are gone.

stop with the stupid click noise. my god

Steam up your photos. The one shown at 1:48 was taken in San Francisco, USA! A place William had never been at that time.

Missed a couple of key points, Durant was booted out of GM in 1909, then partnered with L. Chevrolet in 1911 where he bought out Louis in 1911 and used profits from Chevrolet to buy up GM shares and gain control of GM a second time in 1916.
