Book Description
This compendium presents the most complete design and engineering story available anywhere about this groundbreaking new vehicle. It also introduces you to the engineering team and how they made the world’s first production extended-range electric vehicle a reality. Combining articles from SAE International’s Vehicle Electrification and Automotive Engineering International magazines, new SAE technical papers, and all-new content, this full-color book is the only one of its kind that lifts the veil on how the GM team and key supplier partners met the difficult engineering challenges faced in developing the Volt. Topics include the Volt’s systems, components, and model-based design; a behind-the-wheel look at a Volt prototype; and how the Volt’s engineering team used OnStar to collect test drive data from preproduction Volt vehicles. There is also an interview with GM’s Micky Bly in which the executive explains how the Volt program enabled GM to take new approaches to vehicle electrical architectures.

Book Description
Since its founding in 1912, Chevrolet has weathered the Great Depression, two World Wars, confused markets, and fuel crises to become an American motoring icon. Chevy's success would not have been possible without the network of dealerships that sold and marketed the company's cars and trucks, first to wary customers unconvinced of the new contraptions' practically, then to nine decades of consumers ranging from cash -strapped, to cash-flush, to confused, to increasingly fuel-conscious. This book examines that network by profiling several longstanding dealerships that have thrived and sometimes just barely survived on the frontlines of the car business. Readers will be entertained by anecdotes of early dealerships that took livestock and crops as trade-ins, coped with and thrived under Chevy's stringent Quality Dealer Program in the 1930s, weathered World War II on the income generated by service departments, and corrected backward engineering of the immediate postwar era. Specific Dealerships featured include: William L. Morris (Fillmore, California); Whitney's (Montesano, Washington); Webster Motors (Cody, Wyoming); Felix (Los Angeles, California); Holz (Janesville, Wisconsin); Smith (Atlanta, Georgia); Mandeville (North Attleboro, Massachusetts); and Culberson-Stowers (Pampas, Texas)
