Happy 100th Birthday To General Motors!
HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY TO CHEVROLET TODAY!!! 
A good friend of mine at GM Canada called me last week saying that Breakfast Television is going to be doing a special today on Chevrolet's 100th Birthday down at the BT Studios in Toronto and he needed some special cars for the event.
I was able to help arrange for a 1928 Chevrolet Truck that was originally built in Oshawa and is a one of a kind that a friend owns. Another friend of mine was kind enough to bring his 1969 Camaro Pace Car Convertible AND his 2011 Camaro Pace Car Convertible.
I believe GM Canada will have a new Chevrolet Volt there and I am hoping for a Corvette as well but I am not sure. I do know space is tight so I think they are limited to 5 cars or so.
Anyway, on my down now to meet TFX International at the BT Studios as they picked up all the cars yesterday (THANKS ADAM & WALLY). Check it out on TV if you can. The show itself airs from 6:00am to 9:00am but Chevrolet's 100th segment should be on at around 8:30am or so give or take.
Ciao!

FYI, the "Bowtie" is actually a stylized rendition of the Swiss "cross" on their flag. Louis Chevrolet's birth nation.
Happy Birthday, Chevrolet!
I never met a Chevy I didn't like.
Er... or couldn't fix, and send it on it's way!
