Chevrolet: The Legacy of a Pioneering Brand

The bow-tie brand aimed to democratize the automobile by offering reliable vehicles at affordable prices.
In the 1930s, Chevrolet consolidated its position in the utility market, capitalizing on its expertise in powertrains and chassis. This period marked the brand's expansion into new segments, notably light commercial vehicles, which met the needs of a rapidly changing American economy. The success of these utility models helped establish the reputation for ruggedness and reliability that still characterizes the Chevrolet brand today.
A time of great change
The 1930 Chevrolet Truck was evolving in a rapidly changing America. This year marked the beginning of the American "Roaring Twenties," a period of economic expansion that preceded the Great Depression. Trucks like this Chevy Truck played a crucial role in the development of American commerce and agriculture.
These utility vehicles supported the growth of small family businesses and helped build the modern American economy. Many of these trucks were also used in major infrastructure projects, including the construction of the first skyscrapers that transformed the American urban landscape.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.

What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
