Well I am not sure if I figured it out the same as you did, but I do
believe I found what it has to do with Chevelles in my
mind.
I
think it has everything to do with Chevelles. And a whole lot more! This
country was founded on and holds dear freedom above almost everything else.
We have even been known to spread a little around and fight for other's
freedom while making sure we maintained our own.
For those of us growing up in the 60's the muscle car epitomized
freedom. Especially for the teen and returning serviceman from places like
Viet Nam. It gave us mobility and freedom to get around where we wanted and
when. And did so in style and a whole lot more.
It
also incorporated some of the best of American engineering and brought the
most powerful cars on earth to customers that couldn't get enough of
them. For a change they were being made because of what the customer
wanted instead of whatever the corporate board members liked themselves. Men
like Delorean, Iacocca, Duntov, and more had to fight to get the
American Muscle Car into production, only to be proven right by us and our
free choices.
Yesterday, Veteran's day, we thanked and remembered the
military person that helped to defend that freedom that made the Chevelle
possible. Today we are thankful for the military person that defends our
freedom to remain a free society and not allow others to impose
their "religion" and ways upon us. Surely, the freedom to do what
we do with our Chevelles would be in jeopardy at the very least without the
American serviceman and woman.
May we always have enough volunteers to defend our way of
life. I served my time and I know others here have as well. I know the
tradition will continue. I hope my great grandchildren inherit a life of
freedom defended and maintained by our ability to use our technology
and power when necessary to defend our freedoms and those of others. I hope
to pass my Chevelle on down for generations.

And before you ask what this has to do with
Chevelle's-Figure it out yourself!
