Back in November of 1911, Chevrolet was founded by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant. Louis Chevrolet was a Swiss race car driver and automotive engineer. William C. Durant was previously the head of the Buick Motor Company and hired Louis to drive Buicks in promotional races. Chevrolet’s fame and reputation led Durant to believe that a new automobile company would succeed.

With instruction from Louis, the first car was designed, the Chevy Series C Classic Six. The prototype of the C was ready months before it was incorporated with production didn’t begin until the 1913 model. Chevrolet first introduced and used the “bowtie” emblem in 1914 on the H series models and the L series model. Rumor has it that it was designed from wallpaper that Durant saw in a French hotel room. Historian Jen Kaufmann has researched this more recently and found that their logo is actually based off the “Coalettes” coal company. Other theories behind the “bowtie” include a more stylized Swiss cross for the homeland country of Chevrolet’s parents.
