I am usually a Ford guy, but I prefer the looks of the Chevy. I would go with the Chevrolet simply by virtue of the fact that Henry Ford was a vicious anti-Semite who also owned a newspaper that spouted that propagandist trash. I spit on his grave.
I apologize for this detour.
I'm with you. The massive Ford works in the Ruhr was a critical part of the Nazi war machine. |

It appears that GM was a big help to the Nazis: General Motors' Opel division, based in Germany, supplied the Nazi Party with vehicles. The head of GM at the time was an ardent opponent of the New Deal, which bolstered labor unions and public transport, and admired and supported Adolf Hitler.from: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_collaboration_with_Nazi_Germany#:~:text=8%20Further%20reading-,American%20manufacturers,Coca%2DCola%2C%20and%20IBM. During the late 1930s, Hitler's persecution of Jews was building to a frenzy even as fears of a war escalated. Nevertheless, General Motors' German automotive subsidiary, Opel, remained a loyal corporate citizen of the Third Reich - content to obediently do the Nazi regime's bidding, and unstintingly supporting Hitler's program on many fronts. These included economic and employment recovery, anti-Jewish persecution, war preparedness and domestic propaganda. In return, Opel prospered. Hitler was pleased - very pleased. In 1938, just months after the Nazis' annexation of Austria, James D. Mooney, head of GM's overseas operations, received the German Eagle with Cross, the highest medal Hitler awarded to foreign commercial collaborators and supporters. On November 9-10, 1938, shortly after Mooney's decoration, nationwide pogroms broke out in Germany against the Jews - Kristallnacht.
Alfred P. Sloan, GM's president, defended his close collaboration with Hitler. Brushing off attacks for his partnership with a Nazi regime already notorious for filling concentration camps, taking over Austria and now threatening to install the Master Race across Europe, Sloan was stony and proud. He stated, in a long April 1939 letter to an objecting stockholder, that in the interests of making a profit, GM shouldn't risk alienating its German hosts by intruding in Nazi affairs.From: www.jpost.com/jewish-world/jewish-features/hitlers-carmaker |
