Chevy 6 was formed in April of 1974. Started with the premise that oldies were the best thing to party to, Chevy 6 has weathered the storm of every musical phase, and continued to plow away at it, oblivious to all around them.

In South Africa, Chevrolet was GM's main brand name until 1982, with a number of Vauxhall Motors and Holden derivatives being built under the Chevy name from 1964. In the 1960s, the advertising jingle "braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and Chevrolet" (similar to Holden's 1970s "Football, Meat Pies, Kangaroos and Holden cars") came to epitomise the ideal lifestyle of white male South Africans. Originally, Chevrolets were CKD kits of American Chevys assembled in their plant in Port Elizabeth. However, since South Africa was right-hand drive and the US was left-hand drive, along with encouragement by the South African government to use local content, Chevrolets such as the Biscayne were eventually made entirely in South Africa, along with GM's "own car for South Africa": the Ranger. By the 1970s, South African Chevrolets like the Kommando and Constantia were based on Australian Holden models like the Kingswood, while the Firenza was based on the Vauxhall Viva. The Chevrolet Nomad sold in South Africa was entirely different from the Nomad sold in America; whereas the American Nomad was originally conceived as a station wagon version of the Corvette and eventually became the station wagon version of the Bel Air, the South African Nomad was an SUV of truck proportions before SUVs were popular.

Announcing The Worst Company In America 2008 Contestants The New York Times reports on the Chevy/Apprentice user-created ad site and its slew of anti-SUV ads. The site went live last Fridayish and the story was filed today. Not a bad turnaround; on the heels of a site redesign, is the old gray lady trying to hem its skirts up a little bit and show some, gasp, ankle?
