2019 Chevrolet Silverado 4WD LT Crew
Isn't this really the best-selling pickup? ... Here’s an argument you won’t hear often: General Motors makes the best-selling pickup in North America. No, that’s been Ford’s mantra for nearly 40 years now, but only because Ford sells all its pickups via a single brand, Ford, while General Motors sells its pickup as the Chevrolet...

Die-cast: Autoart’s Chevy Corvette Grand Sport
Striking look makes Corvette Grand Sport a winner … Corvettes of late are little rockets that cost less than pricey European rockets that are capable of on-track racing, but usually end up in an upper class suburban driveway instead. But that would be a waste for Chevrolet’s famous muscle car, especially in Grand Sport trim.... Continue Reading →
2018 Chevrolet Equinox FWD LT 2.0T
New Chevy Equinox shrinks, but that's a good thing ... Chevrolet updated the Equinox for 2018 by doing something carmakers rarely do these days, shrinking it.

Die-cast: NEO’s 1959 Chevy El Camino
Chevrolet's first El Camino blends car, truck ... Today the blending of cars and trucks seems natural as SUVs and crossovers have become the preferred mode of personal transportation in the United States.

Die-cast: Chevy Corvette C7 Z06
Autoart creates a stellar Corvette C7 Z06 ... Vettes are cool even if their current buyers are skewing gray and retired.

Die-cast: NEO’s 1948 Chevy Fleetline Aerosedan
1948 Chevy Fleetline Aerosedan a slick family sedan . . . Cars that bridged the gap between pre-war America and post-World War II are an interesting lot, often dowdy and pedestrian of styling. Most consider the 1930s and 1950s as primo styling eras. But Chevrolet’s hot-selling Fleetline series, starting in 1941 is an exception, particularly... Continue Reading →
Die-cast: Autoart’s 1958 Chevy Corvette
1958 Corvette another beauty in 1/18 scale ... While the early Corvettes were cute little underpowered sports cars, for my money they got serious and more aggressive looking for 1958 when Harley Earl and his design crew gave them quad headlights. To be honest, the Corvette had gotten off to a rather slow sales start... Continue Reading →
2016 Ford F-150 4×4 SuperCrew
Sorry Chevy, lighter Ford F-150 still a strong hauler The Ford F-150 has been the best-selling vehicle in the United States virtually forever and there’s a reason for that, it’s a darned nice truck. Now that it has an aluminum body and notwithstanding the funny Chevy commercials poking fun at it, it’s even better. It’s... Continue Reading →
2015 Chevrolet Colorado 4WD Z71 Crew Long Box
Chevy's new 'mid-size' Colorado only slightly smaller than Silverado Chevrolet is patting itself on the back and most of the automotive media are ladling on the praise for Chevy’s new “mid-size” pickup, the Colorado. The later probably has more to do with ad dollars being spent in the national publications, but there’s some justification. Yet let’s not... Continue Reading →
