Chevrolet starts the 100-day countdown to its centennial celebrations

Chevrolet will officially start its 100 day countdown to its 100th anniversary on July 27. The Chevrolet Centennial will be celebrated on November 3 when it will commemorate the many milestones and achievements that Chevrolet has accomplished across the Middle East.

Chevrolet has become part of the fabric of life in the Middle East and has influenced the region’s automotive history ever since the first Chevrolet vehicles were introduced in the early 20th Century.

The automotive brand owes its existence to a Swiss racing driver and a Boston-based entrepreneur who founded Chevrolet 100 years ago. Back in the early 1900s, Louis Chevrolet was making a name for himself as a daring race car driver and innovative engineer. He began racing for the Buick team, owned by Boston financier and entrepreneur William Durant. But the two men decided to form a partnership off the track and founded the Chevrolet Motor Car Company in Detroit, Michigan, on November 3, 1911.

One year later, the first ‘Classic Six’ rolled off the factory floor in Detroit. The four-cylinder ‘Baby Grand’ and the two-seater ‘Royal Mail’ and the ‘L Light Six’ soon followed. These were the forerunners to some of the Middle East’s most popular vehicles; the Chevrolet Caprice, Suburban, Camaro and the Corvette.

Chevrolet’s popularity was not just confined to the United States; during this time a growing number of vehicles were making their way to the Middle East.

Initially imported into the region by diplomats and U.S. embassy staff, Chevrolet soon began to capture the imagination of kings, princes and kings across the region, igniting the Middle East’s love affair with American vehicles.

By the 1920s, Arab entrepreneurs were importing Chevrolets to sell to a new emerging class of people who were keen to express their wealth and social status through the purchase of a car.

General Motors, which by this point had acquired Chevrolet, could not ignore the growing popularity of Chevrolet in the Middle East and established a corporate head office in Alexandria, Egypt, in 1926 to service the growing number of customers in the region.

GM began to appoint the first official dealers for its brands including Egypt’s Oakland Fouad I & Imad Eddin, which was selected as the first Chevrolet dealer covering the entire Middle East.

To help promote its vehicles, GM also organized the region’s first Auto Show in Egypt that showcased all of its vehicles, including a trio of four-cylinder cars from Chevrolet.
