Happy Birthday, Chevrolet!

Team Auto Group has been around for nearly 20 years, but Chevrolet has been around five times longer. Today, November 3rd, marks the 100th birthday for Chevrolet. 

Do you know where Chevrolet came from? Did you know Chevrolet is named for the man who started Chevrolet 100 years ago?

On November 3, 1911, Swiss immigrant Louis Chevrolet and U.S. entrepreneur Billy Durant founded the Chevrolet Motor Car Company. Today, Chevrolet is one of the best-known automotive brands, not only in the U.S., but around the world. Chevrolet is the number one selling automotive brand in China, and continues to wow people across Europe and Asia. 

 In the beginning, the first car was the Series C Classic Six, and offered an electric starter and electric headlamps at a time when both were rarities among even luxury cars. In the decades that followed, innovations such as safety glass, fuel injection, anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control systems were used on Chevrolet models at the same time as more expensive vehicles. As one of the largest-selling brands in the industry, Chevrolet’s early adoption of landmark technologies fundamentally changed the way they were applied to new vehicles. 

Designs have changed so much over the years, but the trust in the Chevrolet brand has remained the same. Team Auto Group has also changed and grown over time. From a small Chevrolet dealership in the 1990's to a Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick dealership, complete with an award-winning service department, collision center and detailing department. We have an excellent internet sales department and friendly sales team. Team Auto Group is keeping the Chevrolet brand alive in Salisbury, North Carolina, and wishes Chevrolet another century of greatness!
