Six years later Chevrolet opened another plant in Copenhagen, Denmark; it was the first plant outside the U.S. and helps put Chevy on top of Ford selling over one million car and tucks. Back in the United States during the spring of 1929 the Chevrolet Six was released called “a six for the price of a four.” It was called that because the other companies offered a four-cylinder engine for the same price. In 1934 Chevy started to innovate even more introducing independent suspension on the 1935 model master series.
“Shall endow chariots with incredible speed, without the aid of any animal,” David Goewey was talking about SUV’s in a sense, but this relates to the Ford Mustang too. In the early 60’s muscle cars were huge with younger people (Goewey 147). Chevy and Dodge already had their muscle cars and theirs were big with this generation even the Pontiac Firebird was accepted to the muscle cars standards.

Henry Ford was very famous for promoting this wonderful commodity that represented a new kind of freedom. It was a symbol of the American Dream, and everyone was striving to have the new product. “The automobile was the backbone of economic growth.” The first real automobile appeared in Middletown in 1900; however, it wasn’t until Henry Ford came around and created a mass production of automobiles that the machine that would provide easy travel would become popular.

In the start of the Chevy ad it states that Ford did the similar thing but they could do it better. Both trucks have been known as America’s powerhouse trucks being able to hold up to tons of stress and to tow more each year. Chevy has done amazing

The first air conditioning system for automobiles was invented back in 1946. He has also put a lot of extra accessories in his car, probably because he shows his identity through belongings. This might indicate that he has some sort of identity crisis, not knowing exactly what his true identity is.
IRP Airbag Lab ANONYMOUS 5/12/12 Chemistry Pre-AP Background Info: Airbags are used required in all automobiles in all industrialized nations. Airbags were first invented by Walter Linderer in 1951.

This system was not able to fill the airbag quickly enough to safely stop a driver’s head from hitting the wheel and/or the dashboard. Today’s airbags are much more sophisticated with much faster results.
