Chevrolet introduced the first car radio in 1922, with a huge price tag of $200. Many safety agencies believed the radio was distracting and sought to ban them from cars.

In 1941, more than three million cars were manufactured in the United States. Only 139 more were manufactured during World War 2.

The car that sold more than one million units in one year, a record that still stands to this day is the 1965 Chevrolet Impala.
