You can see the two founders in the choice of models from the outset have a greater disagreement, this is probably a start-up companies taboo. If the differences are not reconciled, then the two will eventually have a leave the company. In the first round of the "contest", Billy Durant made concessions. In 1912, Chevrolet first production model Classic Six formally in Detroit off the assembly line.
Whether it is performance or configuration, Classic Six at the time regarded as the top, which makes the manufacturing cost is very high. Ultimately, the Classic Six is ​​priced at $ 2,150, which is quite expensive. At that time the average price of cars in the United States 800-900 US dollars. Classic Six is ​​more expensive than most cars in the same period, and only the rich can afford it. Strictly speaking, Classic Six is ​​a Louis Chevrolet taste of the car. After the launch, he was also very pleased to invite a number of journalists show Classic Six strong performance and ride comfort.
