Louis Chevrolet's car did not become known as his at first Roberto

[edit] Did Louis Chevrolet Work As A Mechanic In His Later Years?

I believe that Paul Harvey's Rest Of The Story is the source for the following: Louis Chevrolet designed a new engine and the company he created was sold to General Motors. But because of bad business dealings, Louis lost everything he had and during the Great Depression, he worked as an ordinary mechanic - on Chevrolets, the car based on his design.

That is true. After he lost everything he had, he went back to Chevrolet to ask for a job, and they gave him a job as a mechanic. I did a report on Louis Chevrolet. He also died of a Cerebral Hemorrage.
