Question:  What was the first vehicle produced by Chevrolet in 1913?

Answer: The first vehicle produced by Chevrolet was the Chevrolet Series C Classic Six, a large touring car introduced in 1913 and the first automobile built under the Chevrolet nameplate, debuting shortly after the company was founded by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant in 1911. Developed from an initial prototype in late 1911 and refined through 1912, the Classic Six featured a six-cylinder engine producing about 40 horsepower, electric lighting, and a spacious touring body—features considered advanced for its time. More upscale than the affordable models that followed, such as the Chevrolet 490 introduced in 1915, the Series C Classic Six helped lay the foundation for Chevrolet’s long history in the automotive industry.
