So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

By Al Batey


One of the most prominent and veteran brands of automobile is no other than the Chevrolet. It is considered as a source of numerous recognitions and awards because of its various designs of bowties. However, the original logo was then remained authentic over the earlier years and was introduced by the co-founder of Chevrolet, William C. Durant in 1913. To recognize his design, the first Chevrolet models, such as the H-2Royal Mail and H-4 Baby Grand adorned the first and unique design in 1914. Nevertheless, it was also used by 215 million Chevrolets over the last century, 60 million of which are still on the road.

The history of Chevrolet's bowtie started in 1913 when William C. Durant, the co-founder of Chevrolet and companies introduced one authentic logo and anchored this on first classic models.

Malibu car, truck and crossover used the 2004 global tie whereas the current badge was present in all 2011 Chevrolet models in 140 countries in the world. Amazingly, consumer-company foundation became stronger in the midst of several badge improvements.

According to sales and statistics, a Chevrolet car, crossover or truck is sold every 6.39 seconds, and the brand set a sales record of 2.5 million in the first six months of the year. One of the qualities that distinguish Chevrolet trucks and crossover was the dynamic approach of the company towards bowtie and car features. Actually, this might be the best impact of the designs that Duran has inspired.

There were few histories about the bowtie and the years of their introduction. However, the improved bowtie has been used in Fleetline, Stylemaster and Fleetmaster cars in 1936, the 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air, 210,150 and Nomad models received the hood of the 1955 design; Camaro got the 1969 blue bowtie; Chevrolet Impala used the 1974 bowtie, Blazer in 1982, 1995-2000 truck models with the yellow gold Chevrolet badge and 2004 Malibu for global, metal-like yellow badge.
