You may have never heard of a Chevrolet Parkwood and Brookwood... that is because no one seems to have a thing for station wagons, I was surprised to see them at Goodguys!

Great advertising theme... from father to son, Chevy runs deep (son searches for 5 years to find his dad's Impala SS, and gives it to his dad)

Short tv commercial above, full length story below of finding the car after looking across 6 states and Canada below... worth watching the full thing!
I didn't know it, but about a week ago Dan at Hemmings posted all about this http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2011/11/09/chevrolet-at-100-pulling-on-your-heartstrings/
I just watched the commercial on tv and had to add this to my blog... great bloggers think alike
The first commercial reminded me of the video I posted years ago about a son who delivers a car to his dad at work
Chevy info / trivia / interesting stuff found in Automobile Magazines 100 years of Chevrolet
Tuesday, October 25, 2011
Founded by Billy Durant, it was one of three car companies he founded that year (he had founded GM years before, but got fired) He founded 2 more companies the next year
Durant did so well with Chevy, that by 1915, he took over control of GM... yeah, Chevy bought out GM.
The depression in 1920 jsut decimated his businesses., and he left in Dec, 1920
When Chevrolet started in business, there were 270 car companies in America
How American is Chevrolet? Well, Louis Chevrolet was Swiss, Zora Arkus Duntov was Belgian... you get the point right? Immigrants are Americas greatest asset, and they made Chevy and GM one of the few comapnies to survive 100 years, and one of only a handful of car manufacturers to stay in the car making business for 100 years or more.
Durant wanted to capitalize on Louis Chevrolet's racing notoriety, and had Lou design a car. It was completed in 1912. Lou quit because Durant nagged about his smoking, and went on to design Indy winning race cars, and found the Frontenac car company
1915 was the year Chevy tried to compete with the less expensive Ford, and made the 490 which was the same price as the Ford (Fiat 500 was the cost in thousands of Lira for a cinquecento) Ford retaliated by dropping his price by 50 bucks. Lots of money in 1915
1923 Chevy had 500 copper air fin equipped cars available, as this early in the car making development process, getting water cooling to work wasn't perfected for another 30 years, and the Franklin was successful as an aircooled engine... they work fine in hot climates, like the American mid and southwest.
The Copper Cooled Chevys were a flop, they detonated terrribly, and of the 100 bought by customers, all but 2 were reaquired by Chevy, AND DUMPED THEM IN LAKE EIRE!
Fangio's first big victory was in a Chevy Master 85. It was an endurance race round trip Buenos Aires to Lima and back
The longest running nameplate in auto history is the Chevy Suburban, launched in 1935
The 55 Chevy Bel Air grill design was ripped off from Ferrari. It only was used in 55.
Chevy's first international competition win was a 1953 210 sedan in the La Carrera Panamericana
1960 Daytona 500, the Junior Johnson Chevy was 20 mph slower than the leading Pontiacs,... and Junior discovered drafting, and won the race. He'd been in prison for running moonshine in 57 and couldn't race in first NASCAR Grand National Championship
Jim Halls Chaparral 2J "sucker car" used a 2 stroke snowmobile engine to produce suction in the ground effects race car to capitalize on the design
The Nassau Speed Week of Dec 1963 proved that the Corvette Grand Sport could beat the Shelby Cobras and Ferrari 250 GTOs ... but that was the last call for Chevy in racing before the AMA ban. Zora was about to take them to Sebring and LeMans
The Chevy LUV (light utility vehicle) was the first Chevy sold in the US built by a foreign manufacturer. Isuzu
The Vega had 2 notorious recalls, the rear tires falling off, and the carb filling with gas til it spilled out onto the engine onto overheating aluminum engines
GM went into partnership with Toyota to get better manufacturing processes and production systems, and reopened a GM facility in Fremont Ca, and Toyota would gain experience in building cars in the US. UAW workers were flown to Japan, learned the Toyota way, production began in 1984, was an immediate success, and they built 8 million cars before shutting down in 2009. The things learned from Toyota were implemented in GM in 1992
Dick Guldstrand was commisioned to make a high speed Corvette to test Bridgestones, he hit 176 at Talledega . It's in the auction cycle right now, and it didn't sell at 40 thou.

A hist�ria do Chevrolet Opala
Thursday, June 30, 2011
Em 1966 a GM lan�a o projeto do primeiro carro brasileiro com a marca Ch
evrolet, "OPALA". O nome � dado pela fus�o de dois produtos da GM no exterior (Opel e Impala).
Ap�s dois anos de expectativa, o Chevrolet Opala � finalmente apresentado ao p�blico brasileiro, no Sal�o do Autom�vel em 1968, precisamente aos vinte dias do m�s de novembro. Ele chega em quatro vers�es, todos quatro portas - Opala com 4 e 6 cilindros e Opala De Luxo tamb�m 4 e 6 cilindros, todos excepcionalmente confort�veis para seis pessoas, bancos dianteiros inteiri�os, c�mbio de tr�s velocidades � frente com alavanca na coluna de dire��o, painel com poucos instrumentos, amplo porta malas e boa dirigibilidade.
No ano de 1971 surge o Opala cup�, n�o possu�a colunas laterai
s, o teto puxado para tr�s e perfil alongado, assim representava uma imagem mais esportiva, de carros compactos. Em seguida desapareceu a vers�o SS quatro portas, pois pelo aspecto esportivo era favor�vel sua apresenta��o em duas portas.
Como op��o permanente era oferecido dois tipos de caixa de mudan�as: Tr�s velocidades e alavanca na dire��o, ou quatro velocidades e alavanca no assoalho, onde a segunda op��o oferecia maior agilidade, economia de combust�vel e melhor desempenho, especialmente para os modelos quatro cilindros.
Foi em 1973 que toda linha Opala sofre as primeiras modifica��es. A que obteve maior resultado foi a da mec�nica do 4 cilindros: aumentou-se o di�metro dos cilindros e reduziu o curso dos pist�es. Esse motor recebeu o nome de 151 e apesar da pequena altera��o da cilindrada (2474cc), houve um consider�vel aumento de pot�ncia. Tamb�m foi introduzido o sistema de transmiss�o autom�tica, sendo opcional para 6 cilindros, e em 1974 se estendia para os ve�culos 4 cilindros.
Somente em 1975, o Chevrolet Opala sofre a maior modifica��o no seu estilo, foram redesenhadas as partes traseiras e dianteiras. O cap� recebeu um ressalto central e, para maior seguran�a, redondos encaixavam-se em molduras quadradas; as lanternas dianteiras foram instaladas na ponta dos p�ra-lamas; a grade dianteira, pintada em preto fosco, agora apresentava dois frisos horizontais. Instalados na parte traseira, quatro lanternas redondas, as duas internas funcionavam apenas como refletores e seu centro branco como luz de r�. A parte interior tamb�m sofreu modifica��es estil�sticas.
A Fam�lia continuava a crescer: a perua Caravan chegava ao mercado em 1975. Um projeto iniciado em 1971, apresentado em uma �nica vers�o 4 cilindros, a perua Caravan, podia receber opcionais como motor 6 cilindros, transmiss�o autom�tica, c�mbio tr�s ou quatro marchas, dire��o hidr�ulica ou outros, � escolha do comprador. Lan�ou-se simultaneamente, nas vers�es cup� e quatro portas, o Chevrolet Comodoro que substituiria o Gran Luxo. Intitulado como o carro de maior status da linha, normalmente vinha equipado com motor 6 cilindros de 4.100cc, 184 cv de pot�ncia e 4000rpm, carburador de duplo corpo, transmiss�o manual de quatro marchas (ou autom�tica) e dire��o hidr�ulica.
A GMB lan�ou um carro especial: O cup� 250S, um carro com maior desempenho que satisfez os compradores de modelos esportivos. Sua maior diferen�a era a prepara��o efetuada no motor de 6 cilindros, que tinha a rela��o de compress�o aumentada para 8,0:1, comando de v�lvulas trabalhado e carbura��o dupla. A pot�ncia passou a ser de 153 cv, superior a antiga, desse modo o Opala 250S obtinha a acelera��o de 0 a 100Km/h em apenas 10s.
Surgi o Opala em vers�o b�sica em duas ou quatro portas de mo
tor 4 cilindros, substituindo os modelos Especial e De Luxo que saia do mercado. O modelo b�sico estava preparado para aceitar transforma��es com diferentes opcionais: motor de seis cilindros ou 250S; c�mbio de tr�s ou quatro marchas, manual ou autom�tico; e dire��o hidr�ulica entre outras modifica��es. Assim a partir de um modelo b�sico era poss�vel obter qualquer modelo da linha, desde o antigo Especial at� o modelo Comodoro.
Em 1975 os ve�culos foram equipados ainda com freio a disco nas rodas dianteiras, duplo circuito hidr�ulico, c�mbio de tr�s velocidades na coluna da dire��o e barra estabilizadora traseira. A mec�nica era encontrada em quatro vers�es: Motor 151b�sico (4 cilindros, 2474 cc e 90cv); Motor 151 S (4 cilindros, 2474 cc e 98 cv); 250 (6 cilindros, 4098 cc e 148 cv) e 250 S (6 cilindros, 4098 cc e 153 cv).
Manteve-se a produ��o da linha esportiva mais simples - SS 4 cilindros com motor 151S e SS 6 cilindros com mec�nica opcional do 250S, lan�ado em 1976 para se eternizar na mente dos apaixonados.
Em 1978, apesar de poucas mudan�as na linha, a Caravan tamb�m
ganhou sua vers�o SS.
Em 1980 � lan�ado o Diplomata, top de linha, que contava entre outros com dire��o servo-assistida e condicionador de ar, como item de s�rie. O Diplomata conquista prefer�ncia executiva para aqueles que procuravam total conforto sobre rodas.
No ano de 1981, a linha sofre modifica��es interiores - volante inovado e painel mais atual. Em seguida lan�a-se a s�rie Silver Star. No ano de 1983 o c�mbio de 5 marchas entra no mercado.
As modifica��es ganham maior impacto deixando o Diplomata com aspecto mais agressivo - 1985. A est�tica externa do Diplomata ganha largas molduras laterais e far�is auxiliares de longo alcance. Internamente, instrumentos com novo designer e a evolu��o el�trica para controles dos vidros e retrovisores.
A nova frente, com far�is trapezoidais e lanternas traseiras por
toda a largura do ve�culo � introduzido nos modelos fabricados em 1988, por dentro o volante de tr�s raios escamote�vel em sete posi��es e opcionais in�ditos com alarme sonoro para lanternas e far�is quando ligados, controle temporizado dos far�is e luz interna, vidros el�tricos com temporizador e ar condicionado com extens�o para o banco traseiro (Para o Diplomata SE estes itens eram de s�rie).
O potente motor 250S a gasolina, somente era oferecid
o sob encomenda e foi substitu�do por um modelo alem�o, c�mbio autom�tico de quatro marchas e bloqueio do conversor de torque. A fabrica��o do fen�meno da industria automobil�stica � encerrada. O �ltimo Opala � fabricado, no dia 16 de abril de 1992, saindo de linha a mais poderosa produ��o de conforto, durabilidade e pot�ncia, motivo evidente que deixa at� hoje milhares de admiradores, que mesmo ap�s 13 anos o consideram "O Imbat�vel".

2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition
Press Release – Apr 28, 2011 – Chevrolet is proud to announce the exclusive 2012 Chevrolet Honor & Valor Limited Edition Camaro SS – a vehicle whose rare combination of power, performance and precision exemplifies the indomitable spirit of our troops, and is ready for action as America’s 21st century sports car.
2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition
General Motors released in 2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition for the armed forces of the United States, to show their appreciation for the American troops. In recognition of Chevrolet’s 100th birthday, only 99 units of the “Honor & Valor” Limited Edition Camaro SS will be built and are only available to eligible members* of the military (the first unit will be auctioned with net proceeds going to Cell Phones for Soldiers). Orders are now being accepted and will be prioritized on a first-come, first-served basis.
2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition
This model is basically a collection of 2012 Camaro SS, which comes with special accents such as a painted body kit, white side stripes, premium floor mats, XM Satellite Radio, black leather seats, a so-called special “honor” badge, a grille insert and surround similar and in addition to the rumbling, American-as-it-can-get 6.2-liter V-8 with a choice of manual or automatic transmission. (We say get the manual, as it hooks to the 426-hp LS3 in place of automatic models’ 400-horse L99.) The 2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition will officially debut at Indy 500 military personnel parade on May 28.
2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition will only be available in red, white, and –er, black. Production is limited to 99 examples, and much like Harley-Davidson’s police and firefighter edition models, cars will only be made available to buyers actively serving in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard. Interested buyers can place an order through www.gmmilitarydiscount.com
2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition
Chevrolet Sport Cars is celebrating National Military Appreciation Month by expanding its GM Military Discount to military spouses and retirees; offering an exclusive “Honor” badge to anyone who buys an eligible Chevrolet through the program. For each eligible vehicle sold, GM will donate $100 to Cell Phones for Soldiers.
2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition
“We are committed to offering military professionals and their family members the best value in the industry,” said Dan Akerson, General Motors Chairman and CEO. “As a former Navy man, I hold the highest regard for the men and women of our Armed Forces – past and present – who help keep our country safe and preserve our precious liberties.”
2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition
The GM Military Discount program is extended to spouses of Active and Reserve members, as well as retirees, of the U.S. Air Force, Army, Navy, Marines, National Guard and Coast Guard. The discount is available on most Chevrolet, Buick and GMC models with discounts typically ranging between $500 and $4,000 off MSRP.
2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition
Production of this special 2012 Chevrolet Sport Cars Camaro SS Honor and Valor Edition military model begins in July, and deliveries are scheduled for August.
