Bow Ties At the Pumpkin run

 In November, 1911 the Chevrolet brothers, Louis and Arthur, teamed up with William C. Durant who had been kicked out of his company, General Motors, to form the Chevrolet Motor Car Company. Durant had been booted from GM because he had been buying up smaller car firms in order to create a giant conglomerate which led to a cash shortage for the company. Durant led Chevrolet to gain a controlling share of GM and merged Chevy with his former company in 1918. He lasted a year before being ousted again. But Chevrolet thrived and became the entry level brand in the GM family, standing up to Ford in the early days and, following World War II, becoming the largest selling brand in the U.S. for decades. That is one reason why, the company with the Bow Tie logo, had so many cars on had at the 48th Pumpkin Run Nationals. Among the Chevy cars on hand was a 1963 Impala, a 1966 Chevy II, a 1964 Nova Super Sport, a 1972 El Camino, a 1963 Biscayne, a restomod 90 van, and a Fleetmaster.
