About Chevrolet
Chevrolet is GM's volume brand and its bowtie badge has been used since 1913, with the company itself offering several conflicting accounts of where the shape came from. The Corvette has been made continuously since 1953. It was founded by a Swiss racing driver whose name it carries, and General Motors absorbed it in 1918 after Chevrolet's own backers had briefly gained control of GM itself.
