They Go Together In The Good Ole USA

As the commercial from the 1970s said, "Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet" go together. We currently have two Chevrolets (a 2009 Traverse and a 2006 HHR). My wife had a Nova in the 70s (before I knew her), and in addition to the two Chevys we now own, together we've had a 1990 Lumina, a 1994 S-10, and a 1985 Corvette. Additionally, our older son's first car was a 1991 Cavalier Z-24, and our younger son's first new car was an '06 Cobalt.

Why am I talking about a particular make? Because today (November 3, 2011) is Chevrolet's 100th anniversary!

I haven't been able to find the original 1974 television commercial online, only a 1975 ad that doesn't come close to the first one. Anyway, as an advocate of getting around by private automobile, I'll leave you with a line from a much older ad campaign: See the U.S.A. in your Chevrolet! And if you prefer Fords, that's okay, too!
