DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. – Charlie Mallon has been acquiring Chevrolet items for 40 years — Chevrolet signs, racing flags, coffee table books, soda cans, hats, belts, shirts, playing cards, drinking glasses, posters, tractor trailers, a biplane and miniature cars – lots of miniature cars.

The 54-year-old auto dealership consultant hopes to soon add a Guinness World Records title to his collection.

Mallon laid out 2,181 different Chevrolet items Wednesday night at the Downingtown West High School in an attempt at what would be a newly created Guinness World Records category for “Largest Collection of Chevrolet Memorabilia.” Most of Mallon’s collection centers on the Chevrolet Corvette, a car he’s admired since he was a child.

Chevrolet V-6-Powered Teams Ready for Street-Course Challenge at Grand Prix of Long Beach Indy

 DETROIT (April 10, 2012) – It is back to the challenge of street-course racing for the Chevrolet V-6 powered teams in the IZOD IndyCar Series this weekend on the Streets of Long Beach (Calif.).

DETROIT – Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, Chevrolet is wearing its own green, with a concept performance car that would make any enthusiast green with envy, an upcoming mini hatch that wears a hot Jalapeno paint finish, and fuel-sipping cars that save green at the pump.

Hot Wheels Camaro Concept: Fulfilling the wish of every child who has ever played with one, the Chevrolet and Hot Wheels® Camaro Concept will return next month to the New York International Auto Show, following its debut last fall at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show. It was inspired by the “Custom Camaro” – the dazzling green Spectraflame® 1:64-scale toy that was one of the original 16 Hot Wheels cars released in 1968. The finish was achieved using a meticulous, several-step process that included applying a liquid-metal solution and several layers of green tint.

NEW YORK – Its in-your-face colors already make the 2013 Chevrolet Spark hard to lose in a crowd. Now it will be even harder to get lost while driving the Spark and the Sonic, thanks to available GogoLink.

GogoLink is an embedded smartphone application that delivers full-function navigation – including live traffic updates – through the vehicles’ MyLink infotainment system. It was introduced today and is expected to be available in the fall. Consumers can test-drive GogoLink for themselves at a special kiosk in the Chevrolet exhibit the New York International Auto Show.

DETROIT – The countdown to the debut of Chevrolet’s next NASCAR Sprint Cup Series racecar is underway.  Chevrolet announced today that for the 2013 season, Team Chevy will be racing a vehicle based on a new nameplate to the brand’s lineup. 

Taking advantage of the new NASCAR rules, which allow manufacturers to display more of their brand identity in their racecars, the new Chevrolet racecar will closely resemble the production version.  Both cars will be unveiled in the coming year.
