Chevys from the Peach State
June 08, 2011
Just like anything else, pronunciations are different around here. Some people say Chevrolet, some people say Chevy, but around here, it's pronounced "Chev-uh-lay". On that note we had four awesome "Chevuhlay's" in the parking lot today at lunch time...they were on their way back from the Hot Rod Power Tour so they made a quick stop here at Coker Tire to take a look around. It was pretty good timing on their part because we're getting set up for the Great Race, so there are a few old cars already rumbling about in Corkyville.
One is a '55 "Chevuhlay" pickup with a blown big block. Another is a black early '70s "Chevuhlay" Camaro...big wheels, big brakes, slick paint, the whole nine yards. Then we have a '60 "Chevuhlay" Bel Air with the big wheel, lowered stance treatment. Finally is a '70 "Chevuhlay" Chevelle with some really big five-spoke Americans on it. Unfortunately, none of them have Coker Tires (shame on you guys) but they all look awesome and we were glad they stopped by!
