The first factory location was in [[Flint, Michigan]] at the corner of Wilcox and Kearsley Street, now known as "[[Chevy Commons]]" at coordinates {{Coord|43.00863|-83.70991|dim:30_region:US-MI_type:event|display=inline|name=Chevy Commons}}, along the Flint River, across the street from [[Kettering University]]. One of the technical advancements Chevrolet benefited from was the implementation of an [[overhead valve]] engine from the very beginning, as the company was developed by the former owner of [[Buick]], which had patented the overhead valve and cross-flow cylinder design as being more efficient than the conventional use of the [[flathead engine]]. Actual design work for the first Chevy, the costly [[Chevrolet Series C Classic Six|Series C Classic Six]], was drawn up by Etienne Planche, following instructions from Louis. The first C prototype was ready months before Chevrolet was actually incorporated. However, the first actual production was not until the 1913 model. So in essence there were no 1911 or 1912 production models, only one pre-production model was made and fine tuned throughout the early part of 1912. Then in the fall of that year the new 1913 model was introduced at the [[New York International Auto Show|New York auto show]]. [[File:Chevrolet Plant, Tarrytown, N.

During that era, the mid-sized [[Chevrolet Chevelle]] which was used to introduce the [[Chevrolet Monte Carlo]], and the economically priced [[Chevrolet Nova]], which was the basis for the [[Chevrolet Camaro]], all were commercially successful and included family sedans, practical station wagons, and sporty coupes and convertibles. As the popularity of small, fuel efficient imported vehicles began to find buyers in the US during the 1970s and 1980s, the [[Chevrolet Vega]] was introduced while the [[Chevrolet Chevette]] was the result of international collaboration. By the mid-1980s, the Vega was gone and the Chevette was about to be discontinued. Lacking a line of competitive small cars, Chevrolet imported several Japanese models and re-badged them as Chevrolets. The Suzuki-sourced [[Chevrolet Sprint]] and the Isuzu-supplied [[Chevrolet Spectrum]] were a better match to compete against the popular [[Toyota Corolla]] and [[Honda Civic]]. The [[Chevrolet Citation]] was the division's first compact sized front-wheel-drive car along with the [[Chevrolet Cavalier]], followed up by the [[Chevrolet Celebrity]]. Chevrolet during the 1990s formed a partnership with Toyota and introduced the [[Geo Prizm]] while also offering the domestically produced [[Chevrolet Corsica]]. As mid-sized family sedans began to gain popularity, the [[Chevrolet Lumina]] found many buyers and as minivans began to find buyers, the [[Chevrolet Venture]] followed the popular selling [[Chevrolet Trailblazer (SUV)|Chevrolet Trailblazer]] and [[Chevrolet Traverse]] SUV's. The basic [[Chevrolet small-block engine|Chevrolet small-block V8]] design has remained in continuous production since its debut in 1955, longer than any other mass-produced engine in the world, although current versions share few if any parts interchangeable with the original.{{citation needed|date=August 2022}} Descendants of the basic small-block OHV V8 design platform in production today have been much modified with advances such as aluminium block and heads, electronic engine management, and sequential port fuel injection. Depending on the vehicle type, Chevrolet V8s are built in displacements from 4.3 to 9.4 litres with outputs ranging from {{convert|111|hp}} to {{convert|994|hp}} as installed at the factory. The engine design has also been used over the years in GM products built and sold under the [[Pontiac (automobile)|Pontiac]], [[Oldsmobile]], [[Buick]], [[Hummer]], [[Opel]] ([[Germany]]), and [[Holden]] ([[Australia]]) nameplates. In 2000, Chevrolet brought back the iconic [[chevrolet Impala|Impala]], although unlike its predecessors, this car was a mid-sized front-wheel drive four door sedan. It was produced until 2020, and the last generation (2014-2020) was larger and classified as a full-size passenger car. In 2005, [[General Motors]] re-launched the Chevrolet marque in [[European Union|Europe]], using rebadged versions of the [[Daewoo]] cars produced by GM [[Korea]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Chevrolet to launch Daewoo-built model line in Europe from January|url=http://www.just-auto.com/news/chevrolet-to-launch-daewoo-built-model-line-in-europe-from-january_id71155.aspx|work=Just Auto|access-date=July 18, 2012|date=September 16, 2004|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121110095112/http://www.just-auto.com/news/chevrolet-to-launch-daewoo-built-model-line-in-europe-from-january_id71155.aspx|archive-date=November 10, 2012|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Chevrolet division largely recovered from the economic downturn of 2007β2010 through launching new vehicles and improving existing lines.
