It is always exciting to learn new things about the history of the American motor companies. Ford was such a pioneer of success with the Model T cars which spurred on a challenge for General Motors and the combined Chevrolet company. GM bought Chevrolet in 1911. It was so long ago it is always important to put this time into perspective. Geronimo was not captured until 1912. So on one side of the country there were Model T’s and on the other side of the country there were still gun fights going on around wagon trails.

The first truck that Chevy built came out in 1918 which was called the Ton Truck. It sold for 1245.00 and had a payload capacity rating of 2,000 lbs. Wow. Things have come along way since the first Ton Truck. The truck seems to be one of the great prides of America. This is the vehicle that built this land. Over the years, truck as seen its day out in the fields and on the ranches. Today, the old trucks are really worth a lot when they are restored correctly. One can pick up a chevrolet pickup repair manual and get all the info to make an old truck new. In fact, all automobiles have the chance to live along life when there is a good manual to refer to with mechanical questions.

Oldsmobile has some classic cars that many like to restore like the Cutlass. Nothing like an old convertible Cutlass to take a long Sunday drive along the California beaches or the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The classic cars and trucks of the 50′s will make everyone’s head turn as they are driven by in the great condition. Keeping these old classic cars alive puts a smile on every ones face. It seems to be a great reminder of the passion that has driven this whole country.
