Chevrolet History:
In 1911, Chevrolet Motor Company of Michigan is incorporated in November of 1911 by Louis Chevrolet, William Little and Edwin Cambell, William Durant's son-in-law. Headquarters are in Detroit.

In 1918, General Motors buys the operating assets of Chevrolet Motor Company in May.
In 1921, GM decides to proceed with commercial application of Kettering's 'copper-cooled' engine, intended to replace the traditional piston engine. The initial target is to put the copper-cooled engine in all of Chevrolet Division's cars. The program is officially ended in 1923, with a total of fewer than 800 copper-cooled engines ever being produced and only 300 sold to dealers, all of which are recalled by GM.

3. I bought a 2008 Chevy 3500 dually with a built in brake controller that was not hook up from the dealer. The dealer knew I was pulling a 10000lb trailer and didn't inform me that I didn't have trailer brakes. Now 10,000 miles later they want to charge me to hook it up. I just would to let everyone know that if they buy a truck from Chevy with a built in trailer brake system that it is not hooked up. Ford and Dodge both come hooked up.
