About the Chevrolet brand
Race car driver Louis Chevrolet and GM founder Billy Durant co-founded Chevrolet in 1911 as a division of General Motors. Not long after, Chevrolet had the best selling car in the United States and overtook its competitor, Ford, in 1929. Chevrolet quickly became a part of the American culture, with Dinah Shore beginning the tradition of concluding her show by singing “See the USA in Your Chevrolet” in 1956, and the Beach Boys recording their hit song “4-0-9” as an ode to the Chevy 409 cubic inch V-8 in 1962.
In 1967 Chevy debuted the Camaro, an American classic, in response to Ford’s Mustang. And in 1970, the greatest American muscle car ever was born — the 450-hp Chevelle SS 454. Not to overlook one of the greatest American-built sports cars, in 1992 the millionth Corvette was built. Today, out of 270 American automotive brands existing at the time of Chevrolet’s’s founding, Chevy is one of the only surviving four.
Like competitors Ford and Chrysler, GM is preparing to cut its US production and available models. Industry experts expect to see changes to the lineup including Chevrolet Volt, Impala and Cruze, Cadillac CT6 and XTS and Buick LaCrosse models.
What is Chevrolet MyLink?
Chevy’s infotainment system, MyLink, allows drivers to integrate their smartphone so they can control their apps through the car’s built-in touch-screen display. But unlike some infotainment systems, drivers can download apps directly onto their Chevrolet MyLink instead of their phone.
Chevrolet car facts
Chevrolet designed the first mass-produced sports car, the Corvette, in 1953. Since then, over 1.3 million Corvettes have been produced.
Chevrolet is the only brand that was awarded the J.D. Power Dependability Award for cars, trucks, and SUVs for three years in a row.
Base prices start at $13,000 and can go up to $132,000.
Bottom line
With Chevy’s great dependability record, these cars are relatively affordable to insure. But be sure to shop around to find the best car insurance for you.
