CHEVROLET

Founded in 1928 by Louis Chevrolet, the Chevrolet Aircraft Corporation developed a unique aircraft engine design featuring an inverted arrangement with the cylinder heads and valve train components on the bottom and the crankshaft on top. After parting ways with his brother Art at the Chevrolet Bros Mfg Co, Louis sought out investors to turn his idea into a reality.
