An Almost Unbelievable Chevron Cars Collection

New Blog DesignThere are Chevron Cars collections, and then there are Chevron Cars collections. Jim in Vacaville, California must have one of the most impressive collections we have ever seen. Not only does he have every Chevron Car - including the notorious Gold Dusty! - Jim has built a special cabinet for displaying them. (Click on any image for a larger view.)

New Blog DesignEach car is in the original plastic packaging - except Gold Dusty of course, which is in its blue velvet sleeve. Writes Jim: "The icon car is the only one I can actually 'play' with but do have its case."

New Blog DesignHe continues: "Thanks for making such a great quality, fun product. I'm looking forward to the next Chevron Car." So are we Jim! Thanks so much for sharing this with fellow collectors and Chevron Cars fans.

We hope that you have room on your shelves for more cars . . ..

Revised Flags of the World Game

New Blog DesignOne of the most exciting games on Chevroncars.com is Flags of the World. It is time based, so the quicker you identify a flag, the more points you get. This can make for some dramatic moments.

Since we launched the game for the 2004 Olympics, there have been a number of changes on our planet. New countries have been born - do you know where Akrotira is? Others have received international recognition and their own flags like Montenegro and Kosovo. Then there are odd new states with flags, like the United States Pacific Island Wildlife Refuge. It has no capital and restricts entry to scientists.

Our updated Flags of the World game includes 9 new and other revised entries. Check it out - and see how much you really know about the 267 countries around the world!

New Chevron Cars Blog Design

New Blog DesignHave you noticed the new Chevron Cars blog design? We've updated the retro diner theme and now feature some recent cars like Moe Muscle and Fuller Fire Truck on the masthead. The new design lets us switch masthead cars easily, so new cars can show up there quickly.

Like any good diner, our blog is open 24 hours a day. So grab yourself a burger or a shake and park yourself with us for a while. Share your collection and new car ideas, or tell us what you think about other people's posts. You don't have to skate around any topics here, we're all here for the same reason: we love our Chevron cars! Keep your eyes open for new announcements, interesting articles, and fun facts. You can also find out about the newest cars released on the site.

What do you think about our new design? We'd love to hear your opinions.
