Are some of us still under the effects of New Years Eve. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img]Well I have always wondered where the Chevrolet BowTie Logo came from.I finally found out that While on a visit to France,Louis Chevrolet noticed this unusual "Bowtie" design all over some wallpaper in a French Hotels lobby.He scribbled it on a napkin,and brought it back home to the USA.He soon Trademaked it as the company symbol......And a "Chevelle" is also the name of an antique turn of the century English Furniture Cabinet.
