Don't ask me what that means. Quite a few people between him and I. Wasn't there an article in the G&D on Mr. Durant just before the 50th anniversery? She would like to read it. Seem like I remember it. Does anyone know what month it was in? 1946 Chevy 3100 1/2 Ton Pickup Purchased 11/18/17 Sold 9/20 1948 Chevy Fleetmaster Coupe, Purchased 6/20/2010 1965 Chevy ll 350 Purchased Feb 2021. 3-speed Saginaw Hurst Floor Shifter 3.08 Rear End 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat Super Crew

That article covered Durant and Louis Chevrolet in the early Chevrolet history. Last edited by Oldie; 03/23/13 01:37 PM.

It was a relief to read the article, and I would enjoy if the forum could have a special column for the history of Durant, Chevrolet and the car. Many users here like to read and discuss the early history of those fascinating people and our beloved brand. Any hope of adding "The Chevrolet history and the men behind it", BBB????. And in the public section, please, for all to read and write. Solan G, # 32797 Take advantage in your hobby by being member of VCCA!
