Chevy pickup trucks of 1957 can trace its beginnings all the way back to the 1900s!

Birth of Chevy Pickup Trucks

The birth of the first Chevy pickup trucks thanks to William Durant and Louis Chevrolet made its first appearance in 1918. William Durant and Louis Chevrolet started selling Chevrolet’s around 1911. After being fired by GM William Durant was said not to be (suitable to head GM).

Chevy’s “Bowtie” Logo

First appeared in 1913 and of course is still very famous today. Where the logo came from is up for debate. A lot of different stories surround the famous Chevrolet “Bowtie” logo. One of the stories says Durant had seen it in a French hotel wallpaper design and liked it very much. Some say it was borrowed from the logo for Coalettes. And what may be the real truth is the logo could have arisen from the Swiss cross because Chevrolet’s parent came from Switzerland.

Another interesting part of the story is the Chevrolet had so much success from 1916 to 1918 they bought a nice chunk of General Motors. And the really funny part is they merged which put Durant back the helm of the company that fired him.
