Chevrolet turns 100 years old in 2011, and to celebrate the automaker is kicking off a series of events, both online and in communities across America. In 100 years, Chevy has sold more than 200 million cars and trucks across the globe, which means than a significant portion of the population in the U.S. and Europe have experience with Chevrolet products. If you haven?t owned a Chevy yourself, chances are good that you have a friend, neighbor, or relative who has, and in the United States it?s all but certain that you?ve driven in one.
To launch a 100-day countdown to its birthday, Chevrolet has launched a website called Chevy100.com that allows visitors to vote for their favorite of 16 Chevy models from the past 100 years. Owners and fans are also encouraged to share stories about Chevrolet on their Facebook page, which also has information and updates on local events relating to Chevy?s centennial celebration. The automaker also wants to hear your vision for the future of Chevrolet, and we’re sure we?d all like to know what happened to the flying cars we were supposed to be driving by now.
The festivities aren?t limited to the United States, either, and Chevy promises to support centennial events in Europe, such as June?s 1,200-strong Chevy rally in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.
Expect more on the celebration in the coming months, and don?t be surprised if Chevy uses their birthday party as an excuse to announce the development of future models.
Full press release after the jump.
