	Chevrolet was born of financial problems and disagreements (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Chevrolet, for much of the past century the leading American car line, was born as a result of the financial problems of William Durant and emerged from a disagreement which resulted in the early resignation of Louis Chevrolet from the firm that bore his name.
		When Chevrolet introduced a new model in 1925, the Superior, it was competing with a Ford Model T so old in its design and so different from its contemporaries that some states required a special license to drive it.
		Chevrolet began giving its cars different series designations each model year -- the Capitol in 1927, the National in 1928, the International in 1929, the Universal in 1930, the Independence in 1931, the Confederate in 1932 (an unusually spiffy model) and in 1933 the Master Eagle and the Standard Mercury.
