1. "Billy"
   "Chev"
2. "Crapo"
   "Durable"

Don't laugh about "Crapo." That was Durant's mother's maiden name, and his middle name!

1. Ford
   Mercedes
2. Dodge
   Tesla

There's even a bumper sticker you'll see on Ford vehicles. It reads "Friends don't let friends drive Chevys."

1. 1901
   1911
2. 1921
   1931

The company was born in the early "teens." Ford and Dodge were already established.

1. American
   Canadian
2. Bulgarian
   Swiss

It's true! The co-founder of a classic "Americana" company was Swiss. Who knew?

1. He was a chemist.
   He was heir to a fortune in Europe.
2. He was a pioneering aviator.
   He was a race-car driver.

Louis Chevrolet was also an automotive engineer. But it was while racing cars for Buick that he got to know his future business partner, William Durant.

1. 55 years
   45 years
2. 40 years
   less than 10 years

The company was founded in 1911; Chevrolet sold his share in 1915. Apparently he did not get along with his partner, William Durant.

1. Daimler-Chrysler
   AMC
2. General Motors
   the United Nations

Chevrolet is a GM brand. Once an independent company, it has a complicated history with GM (which you'll learn about elsewhere in this quiz).

1. Dodge Brothers
   General Motors
2. Kellogg
   Nabisco

Durant had founded General Motors. He used the Chevrolet company as a backdoor way of getting back on the board of GM, via a merger in 1918. Unfortunately, he was bounced from the board a second time the following year. (Some guys just can't take a hint!)

1. the bowtie
   the running man
2. the running horse
   the seven-point star

Chevrolet's emblem is a cross with its crossbar longer than its vertical bar. It's casually called the Chevy "bowtie."

1. California
   New York
2. Michigan
   Alabama

This is typical for a major car maker. Chevy got its start in Flint, Michigan, and is now headquartered in Detroit.

1. 1919
   1929
2. 1939
   1944

Chevrolet overtook classic American car brand Ford to do this. It was part of the rivalry between the companies that lasts to this day.

1. 1953
   1963
2. 1973
   1983

The Corvette rolled out in the early 1950s. A "corvette" is a light, quick warship.

1. the Corrie
   the Corvair
2. the Pony
   the Stingray

These names are often used synonmously. But a fan will tell you they're not the same. The "Sting Ray" name was first introduced in 1963.

1. cylinders
   gears
2. thousand dollars (in price)
   seats

Ford, at that time, used a four-cylinder engine. So when Chevy offered buyers a six-cylinder car "for the price of a four," it was a marketing coup.

1. the Corvair
   the Standard Six
2. the Silverado
   the Volt

"Unsafe at Any Speed" was a book that indicted America's car makers overall for a lack of concern about safety. However, its first chapter, "The Sporty Corvair: A One-Car Accident," was a public-relations problem for Chevrolet in particular.

1. Bel Air
   Flair
2. Repair
   just "air"

Chevrolet already made cars called the Corvette and the Bel Air. The Corvair name suggests it was a combination of both, but really, it was a break from tradition, with a rear engine and independent suspension for all four wheels. The Corvair was 1960's "Car of the Year," according to Motor Trend.

1. Dodge Challenger
   Lamborghini Miura
2. Ford Mustang
   Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost

The Mustang was considered the first "pony car," and the Camaro was Chevy's answer to it. To this day, no one knows what the name means!

1. 1967
   1972
2. 1976
   1980

The first Mustangs were sold in mid-1964. Chevy was not quick, then, to respond with the Camaro.

1. the Escape
   the Leaf
2. the Insight
   the Volt

The Volt has been tremendously popular. It is the top-selling plug-in hybrid in US history.

1. Cruze
   Impala
2. Nova
   Yaris

Vintage Impalas and Novas are powerful cars that are now, sometimes, collector's items. Yaris is a Toyota product, and -- sorry Toyota! -- unlikely to ever be collectibles.

1. engine
   motorcycle
2. sports car
   truck

Like Ford, Chevy makes a lot of its income from its light- to medium-duty trucks. These include the Sierra and the Silverado.

1. a gearbox
   an engine
2. a pillar
   a tailpipe

The "stovebolt" was Chevrolet's inline 6-cylinder engine. It was first produced in 1929.

1. C+
   HP
2. A+
   SS

This stands for "Super Sport." Some Chevelles and Novas had this designation, as well as other cars and even some Chevy trucks.

1. the Cruze
   the Bel Air
2. the Nova
   the Corvette

"No va" means "it doesn't go" in Spanish, so the story is that the Nova failed in Latin America. It's a fun anecdote, but just not true. The Nova sold fine.

1. the '40s and '50s
   the '50s and '60s
2. the '60s and '70s
   the '70s and '80s

The Chevelle was sold from 1964 to 1978. They are still popular with car enthusiasts today.

1. the Bel Air
   the Corvair
2. the Malibu
   the Cruze

The Chevelle was phased out in 1978. The Chevy Malibu took its niche in the market.

1. Charlotte Motor Speedway
   Indianapolis Motor Speedway
2. New Hampshire Motor Speedway
   Talladega Superspeedway

The memorial is in the racetrack's Hall of Fame Museum. Louis competed in the Indianapolis 500 several times; his best finish was 7th place.

1. 75
   200
2. 1,000
   nearly 3,000

When we say "nearly," we mean it. The number on record is 2,999.

1. 1918
   1928
2. 1938
   1948

The America of the "teens" (1910 - 1919) was a growing nation, and that requires solid working vehicles. It's no surprise that Chevy moved into this space fairly quickly.

1. Like a rock
   Chevy runs deep
2. Inspiration comes standard
   See the USA in your Chevrolet

"Inspiration comes standard" was a Chrysler slogan. The other three mottoes have all been used by Chevrolet.

1. engineering
   racing
2. sales
   aviation technology

Ed Cole is famous for developing the Chevy small-block V8 engine, among other advances. He died in a plane crash in 1977, and is now in the Automotive Hall of Fame.

1. Chevs
   Holdens
2. Opels
   Durants

Technically, Holden is GM's Australia division in place of Chevrolet. But many models are fundamentally the same, like the "Chevy Volt" and "Holden Volt."

1. Goodyear
   Frigidaire
2. Turtle Wax
   Quaker State

What is it with carmakers and appliance companies? In 1937, the American automaker Nash. famous for the "Rambler," joined forces with appliance company Kelvinator to become Nash-Kelvinator. Perhaps it reflects early interest in cars having A/C systems.

1. Saw
   Kill Bill
2. Scream
   Transformers

"Bumblebee" is a Camaro in the films, starting as a '60s version and later becoming a fifth-generation model. A Camaro also appears in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier," for which Chevy had a product-placement deal.

1. Jack Reacher
   Drive Angry
2. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
   all of them

There are more movies than this, frankly, and usually things don't end well for the Chevelle. As one writer for AutoTrader put it, "It's as if there's some sort of not-so-secret conspiracy to crash every late-'60s and early-'70s A-bodied SS Chevelle in existence."
