Louis Chevrolet was race - car driver, born on December 25, 1878, in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland.
Louis Chevrolet was adamant that his name should only appear on luxury vehicles. Chevrolet quit, selling his stock in the company, and went on to form the Frontenac Motor Corporation. By 1917 he had built a new, highly advanced racing car, complete with aluminum engine. but without money to build it, he signed on as chief engineer for a new company called American Motors Corporation. he helped develop tourer, but when production began, he was told to go.
The Monroe Company eventually hired Chevrolet to build a race car. he updated his Frontenac racer and with his younger brother Gaston at the wheel, won the 1920 Indianapolis 500. Tragically, Gaston would die before the year was out, in a fiery crash on a boardwalk race in Beverly Hills, California.
Louis Chevrolet went on to try and launch Frontenac Motors as a car-maker, but the company quickly went bankrupt. he turned to boat racing in 1925, winning the Miami Regatta, but the victory didnt translate into commercial success. a venture building aeroplanes also failed.
Finally in 1934, Chevrolet was re employed by General Motors in a Minor position, but illness forced him to retire in 1938. Chevrolet died in 1941, at the age of 63, and was buried in Indianapolis, the scene of his greatest racing triumph.
While Louis Chevrolet may have spent just two years working with William Durant, the company he gave his name to has lasted almost a century and has become one of the best known nameplates in the automobile world.

Meanwhile, across the globe in the United States of America, an entrepreneur named William Durant had joined hands with Swiss racing driver Louis Chevrolet to setup a car manufacturing company that would bear the Swiss driver's name - Chevrolet.While the British Empire would disintegrate over the next few decades, Chevrolet cars would grow from strength to strength and spread their magic across the globe, including India.

William Durant, founder of General Motors, had been forced out of GM in 1910 and wanted to use Louis Chevrolet's designs to rebuild his own reputation as a force in the automobile industry. As head of Buick Motor Company,, prior to founding General Motors, Durant had hired Chevrolet to drive Buicks in promotional races.
The first Chevrolet to come off the line at a new factory in Detroit in 1912 was the Chevrolet Classic Six.

But Durant was quick to realize that if he was to develop his company, he needed to build cheaper cars that he could sell in higher volumes. Louis Chevrolet was adamant that his name should only appear on luxury vehicles. Chevrolet quit, selling his stock in the company, and went on to form the Frontenac Motor Corporation. Chevrolet died due to illness.
