Take a Chevy Roadtrip
Nothing is as American as baseball, hotdogs, apple pie, and Chevrolets. The road trip should be added to the list of all things American. So, when you are ready for a little summertime adventure, why not visit the sites that make America great in your favorite Chevy. These are a few places to stop so you can enjoy the best that America has to offer:
El Camino: Did you know?
The Chevy El Camino is a special car that defined a special time. This car-turned-pickup filled a niche market in a way that few other vehicles could. Defined as a “coupe-utility vehicle,” the El Camino was found in the fields of California to the drag strips in the Midwest. Today the car finds comfort in the garages of the men and women who just cannot escape the 1970s and want to relive their glory days.
L.A. Noire the Video Game
Welcome to the year 1947 and the City of Los Angeles where corruption and crime rule the day. When you enter the land of L.A. Noire, you become Officer Cole Phelps and your task is to catch the bad guys and rid Los Angeles of crime. As you move from bureau to bureau, you get to advance through the police department.
The Family Car in the 1940s
The very first driver’s training program was conducted in State College, Pennsylvania in 1934. Before that date, most drivers would get a driver’s license by visiting a local government office to pay a very small fee (like $.25) and would walk out with a license to drive. During the 1940s, most families did not have two cars, a television, and a family dog. Thinking about cars and driving cars was very different in the days of the 1940s.
China Loves Classic American Cars
Who doesn’t love classic cars? From the earliest Fords to the ‘40s hot rods, the powerful road racers of the muscle car era, and the modern classics, everyone loves the style and the nostalgia of a classic car. Apparently no one loves it more than Chinese citizens. American culture has long been popular with the people in communist countries. Today, that is taking the form of a love for older cars among the people of China.
Chevy Bel Air & Route 66
When it comes to historic American cars, the 1957 Chevy Bel Air is the most iconic and recognizable. This attractive and affordable car defined the era of Route 66 and the open road. Families could finally afford cars and they were just learning about the joy of a road trip, especially with the growth of the Interstate Highway System and the Mother Road.
The Longest-Running Classic and Collectible Cars
New cars today just don’t seem to last. Production runs and product lifecycles aren’t what they used to be, with a few exceptions. Some collectible and classic cars have been around for decades and these are the brands and names that collectors love. A legacy is important to brand recognition, loyalty, and collectability.

Chevy Impala in the Movies: The Coolest Impalas in the Entertainment World
The Chevy Impala has appeared in countless movies, television shows, songs, and music videos. Many of the appearances were in small cameo roles where the car appeared on the streets or in parking lots. Since the car has been in production for five decades, it is only natural that the car actually has had a number of major roles, too. These are a five of the best:
Chevy Nova: The Amazing Cartoon Car
Some cars make statements in live action movies, while some tend to appear in music videos. For some strange reason, the Chevy Nova has made several appearances in cartoons. The muscle car models from the late 1960s and early 1970s translate well into a tough cartoon car due to the oversized headlights, grille, and angled rooflines.
One of the toughest looking cartoon Chevy Nova models appeared in an episode of Transformers Prime. The jet black car had sleek chrome details and held its own in a street race in the first season of the hit show.
