The famous old, All-American Chevrolet slogan… around the world

«Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet» is a beloved slogan and jingle from the 70’s. But interestingly, it was also adapted for its use in other GM divisions…

In Australia, it was «Football, meat pies, kangaroos and Holden cars»!

Television was allowed in South Africa just in 1976, two years after the jingle was adapted for radio in that country, advertising the local Chevrolet brand. For them, it was «Braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and Chevrolet»!

Here is «Sunny skies» on the shirt of the «Sunbirds», part of a 1978 campaign.

Chevrolet LUV Concept (Santiago Motorshow 2002)

¡Esto es tan #obscuremonday ni yo me acordaba de su existencia! Y eso que la foto la tomé yo. Mostrada por Chevrolet en el VII Salón del Automóvil de Santiago, en 2002, se trata de una Chevrolet LUV con frontal de Isuzu Axiom y corbatín Chevrolet. Presentada como posible futura LUV, nunca entró en producción. ¿Alguien más la recuerda? ¿Qué fue de este concept car?

Absolutely love these, and I just don’t see them in Chile.

No shot of the back because the owner came to get something in. I should have asked her…

Close by, this Celebrity, sort of an evolution of the Citation, fixing its numerous issues (way too late, though). Reading about what a crucial error the Citation was is just fascinating. I’ve read this article so many times! https://www.curbsideclassic.com/curbside-classics-american/curbside-classic-1980-chevrolet-citation-gms-deadliest-sin/

MotorWeek 95 | Chevrolet Cavalier

Original: December 18, 2016, 4:34 pm

As a kid obsessed with boxy 80’s-and-older cars, I never cared about these Cavalier, which were new back then. But I’ve come to admire their styling, extremely modern and good looking for the times. And a great work to make give this Cavalier such a different design, since I think it was mostly the same old car underneath.

Cuando era un niño obsesionado por los autos cuadrados de los ochenta y antes, nunca me interesaron estos Cavalier, nuevos por entonces. Pero ahora me gusta su estilo, muy moderno y atractivo para los tiempos. Y me asombra lo diferente de este diseño en el Cavalier, siendo que entiendo el auto no había cambiado tanto bajo la carrocería.
