The Story of a Global Brand A. Louis Chevrolet and the Legend Of
Chevrolet – the Story of a Global Brand A. Louis Chevrolet and the Legend of Beaune Like many inventors and pioneers, Louis Chevrolet (1878-1941), the racing driver and automobile designer, represents a challenge for any historian or biographer. Myths and legends surround him and his life. Numerous anecdotes have been told about his career. Today, it has become very difficult to differentiate between fact and fiction. Chevrolet's childhood and youth are well documented. In 1878, he was born on Christmas day in the town of La Chaux-de- Fonds in the French-speaking part of Switzerland. He spent his early childhood nearby in the sleepy little village of Bonfol. Even today, Bonfol remains a small town where the only reminder of its famous son is a memorial plaque on Place Louis Chevrolet. When Louis was nine years old, his family moved to Beaune in Baby Louis Chevrolet France. There, Louis' father owned a watch store, but the venture was not successful. As a result, Louis started working at the age of eleven to support his family. He found employment in the Robin bicycle workshop, where he learned the fundamentals of mechanics. He repaired coaches and bicycles, until one day he was sent to the "Hôtel de la Poste" to repair a steam-driven tricycle belonging to an American. This must have been the moment when Chevrolet fell in love twice. He fell in love with automobiles, and also with the idea of emigrating to America. The American, whose tricycle Chevrolet had skillfully repaired was none other than the multimillionaire Vanderbilt.

Original Article written by Larry Chambers, transcribed by Shirley Chambers, 2017-2018 MEMPHIS CLASSIC CHEVYS 40TH ANNIVERSARY PART I I. Lakeland / Drag Racing – Before MCCCC The 1960’s were great in the Memphis area for classic Chevy lovers. Lakeland Dragstrip had opened and became NHRA Sanctioned. This brought in NHRA regional events. Bill Taylor and Larry Coleman ran Lakeland and at the same time ran national caliber race cars. Lakeland booked in major racers to “Funny Car” and Top Fuel dragster events. Local racing businesses were established and growing. NHRA had many classes for Tri-Five Chevy’s - 34 classes in Stock Eliminator! There were also classes for modified Tri-Fives. These cars had become very popular after Chevrolet put their new V-8 in all new 1955 Chevys, and the new 1956 Chevys got increased horsepower ratings. Chevrolet advertised “The Hot One Is Hotter”. Then in 1957 the Fuel Injection 283HP and six other V-8 HP ratings appeared. NHRA Stock Eliminator rules allowed cross breeding of parts to any passenger car. Corvette engines, 4-speed Corvette transmissions into ‘57 passenger cars, even the 4 speed truck Hydramatic into sedan deliveries. All of these cars were classed by factory shipping weight to factory HP ratings. NHRA National records for each class set the basis for handicap racing. If you went to the drag races you saw Tri-Five Chevys in action - lots of them! There were also plenty of them in the parking lot. About the same time Tri-Fives seemed to be everywhere if you were looking for them.
