History of Chevrolet Documentary

[@JohnnyRebKy]

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

[@weskirkland5850]

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

[@christopheralthouse6378]

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...😊

[@eajosephedward]

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

[@trevorjameson3213]

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.

[@badazz2969]

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

[@546cowboy8]

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.

[@tonym3598]

I like the Suburban

[@graybeard1952]

Though my first car was a Studebaker Lark. My second, a few weeks later, was a 57 Two Ten wagon, White/Yellow. I've owned many Chevys since and currently own a 2018 Colorado that I traded my 2010 Malibu in for.

[@xoticproductionsreviews4981]

I have a 2021 Chevy suburban

[@Mayito_Tamps]

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

[@ACF6180T]

Man I love my Chevrolets I own 7 of them 1964 ,65,67,99,2003,07,& a 08 the only thing bad about it, is some day I will have to sell most of them,but not yet,not yet!

[@xoticproductionsreviews4981]

I have a 2021 Chevy suburban love the new look 🔥🔥

[@chaseofori-atta2225]

Chevrolet makes great cars and trucks! 🚗

[@jamosgarage9006]

I've always loved Chevrolets and Buicks.

[@vassa1972]

Great video

[@Nuggets22798]

Chevrolet is my favorite car company! I have so many favorite cars from Chevrolet. So I can’t just pick one. I love the bel air series including the two ten! I love these classic cars! And although I don’t own one yet, I have got to sit in some I love these cars!

[@jordancooper2717]

That lady is total beast still driving true American steel..keep on keepin on 💪

[@cmoore7700]

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

[@Fred-mp1vf]

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.

[@johnmartin7158]

Then again, you can buy nice tough custom made seat covers for vehicles.

[@danr1920]

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.

[@thetreblerebel]

The first three years of the Vette were the most beautiful. Maybe slow, but beautiful

[@DannyMorrison5i8yrd]

My first car was a 1955 Chevy truck that was my baby

[@jonathanhernandez4669]

92 Chevy Camaro 🥰🥰

[@robb.675]

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.

[@lincolnpaul1814]

Rockandroll sorry you had bad luck with the Chevrolet, I had a Buick and two Cadillacs which all were excellent cars. 70 Buick, 79 Cadillac, 07 Cadillac

[@MrLuvOldies]

Chevy came out with the first Overhead Valve V8 Engine in 1917.

[@eugeneschulte4950]

Maybe so. But that was So crappy that GM did try it again until 1955. GM is always Following. And always needs BAILOUTS!!!!

[@johnnyhawkins43]

I heard that they were so far ahead of their time that old time mechanics couldn't work on them!!!!!!!!!

[@phantomwalker8251]

chev have allways built cheap cars for the masses,worse than ford did.even in a 70,s mag,chev was the poor mans car,ford for the office worker,dodge for the boss.i drive ford & dodge,.i nearly bought a corvette,till i saw one on a hoist,& inspected the rear 1876 rear suspension single leaf,from a chuck wagon.but,if i had the money & found a 73,ish,454 corvette,id buy it,as they are 4 wheel disc,no boot,no back seat,no door handles,,a real sports car,.but the dream,is a pantera..present now is a 73 r/t chall,340..

[@dingrey]

@@phantomwalker8251 Fords still come with leaf springs from the factory. Last model mustang is a cheap joke.

[@Acejustforalaugh]

See the USA 🇺🇸 in your Chevrolet !!

[@barneybaker2049]

Tri-Chevys ? I never heard of this !!! Now Tri-5s I have !!!

[@tristar1908]

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

[@foxbat2130]

My first Car Chevrolet beat here in New Delhi India. First owner. And though they pulled out in 2017 ... I would keep it till it's legally road worthy. FIND NEW ROADS👍❤️🇮🇳

[@jeffroy1463]

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

[@lancetaylor7]

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.

[@yelnickmcwawa5858]

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

focused on the corvette

[@paulradice3534]

Chevy till the end

[@politicalincorrect3368]

My first car. 1975 laguna S-3

[@robc8468]

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.

[@thehomeplatespecial597]

[@dboy2258]

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.

[@michaelweizer7794]

Let's see 1954,57,58,61,63,65and73 yep chevrolets have definitely been in my life !, somehow the newer Chevrolet s don't knock me on my ass like the old ones did but I think that could change if I got a chance to drive one of the new Camaro s or Corvette s but nowadays Chevrolet is making more money with trucks and SUVs and yes I would agree that Chevy trucks are just as important to the Chevrolet story as the cars are!

[@_jstatic]

GM is awesome I don’t care what the Democrats say !

[@ithinkihaveebola5238]

Republican here! And I think GM sucks!

[@nicklewis7291]

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.

S10 trucks are crap the Malibu I had no issues with very dependable I don't have it anymore was totaled in a accident.

[@sh115067]

My s10 is a beaut. Very reliable. Over 300000 km's and still going stong

[@jacobynoctis4825]

The s10 i used as a ranch truck was one of the most reliable trucks I have ever had. It has nearing 500xxx kilometers a 6 inch lift and the 2.2 inline 4 and that little truck was a beast.

[@rockandroll4689]

@Leon Flames that's a bit extreme isn't it. I highly doubt that.

[@skeleguns10oooooo10]

Chevrolet makes great cars. But they aren’t as successful in Europe

[@massmoney829]

Unfortunately GM has gone downhill since the bailout in 2008. It's sad to see all the GM plants being outsourced to Mexico and China.

[@lincolnpaul1814]

Cameron Costello gm makes super cars, they are not selling well because of Americans being totally brainwashed by Toyota

[@MrLuvOldies]

I Agree.

[@rockandroll4689]

@@lincolnpaul1814 not in my opinion. Our family has purchased several Chevrolets - none of them were any good - lemons.

Chevy makes good motors or use to... rest of the truck or car is crap in my experience

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.

[@HiThere-du4up]

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.

[@timothylindsey7925]

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

[@williamegler8771]

But it is ok for the present administration to place punitive tariffs on German automakers that employ thousands of Americans either directly or indirectly at their plants and dealerships in the United States...
