This is a Fine Art photograph of a vintage Chevrolet grille and car emblem. The Chevrolet logo has changed very little since the year it was created. There are mixed facts as to how the emblem came to be designed. For awhile Luis Chevrolet had a partner named William Durant and it was Durant's responsibility to design an emblem for their new car line. Rumors range from the Chevy emblem coming from distant memory of Durants while he was staying at luxury hotel in Paris. The design of the Parisian wall paper in his room intrigued him thus that was used. Others state that it was designed after the logo for the "Coalettes." But the most reasonable conclusion was that the Chevy logo came from highly stylized Swiss cross, which was redesigned, to honor Luis Chevrolet's parents home town in Switzerland. The grille emblem as viewed here is restyled to to be more Art Deco in design, placing the age of this car in the early 1940s.
