Dear Chevron Cars Fans,

Just as a mechanic will tinker and tune the inside of a beloved car, so too are we making a few adjustments to our website.

Here are some changes we'll be making in 2011:

My Collection
You'll no longer be able to add new Chevron Toy Cars to the My Collection page. But don't worry! If you're currently keeping track of your collection on this site, saving it is easy:

* Click on the Print my collection button to print a hard copy.
* Click on the Email my collection button and send it to your own email address (or a parent's, if you don't have your own) so you'll have an electronic file on your computer.

Wish List
We do hope all the Chevron Toy Car wishes you've ever made have come true! Even so, we are now saying a fond goodbye to the Wish List feature. But, you still have until January 14, 2011 to start or add to a Wish List.

Game Scores
Although you can keep playing dozens of free online Kids' Games whenever you want, you'll no longer be able to track and rate the results on My Games Score. But we're confident this won't affect your natural knack for super scores!

Please keep visiting this site for The Chevron Car Toy Store, plus all the other fun stuff you're used to, including wallpaper, coloring pages, sticker pages, blogs, and Chevron Toy Car bios. We love it whenever you drop in!

Cheers,

Chevron Cars

Jake recently sent us his idea for a new Chevron Car--Sully Snowplow. Jake thought of a lot of details when he planned this design including an adjustable front plow that moves up and down, opening doors, a hinged hood and a tipping dump bed. It would even be built with a metal plow to prevent it from breaking off.

Jake says, "Considering that you have a police car (Patty Patrol) and a fire truck (Fuller), I think a snowplow truck would be an excellent addition to the Chevron Car family." What do you think?

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and this year Chevron is showing its support by releasing a new car called Harmonee. This happy-go-lucky car is sure to make friends with the rest of the Chevron Breast Cancer Awareness collection and is now available at ChevronCars.com.

The first Breast Cancer Awareness car, Hope, was released in 2001, and was followed by Hope 2002, Hope 2003, Cherish, Faith, Promis, Courage, Spirit, Devotion and now Harmonee.

In America, one of every eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. New developments in the detection and treatment of breast cancer are giving hope to millions of women all over the world.

Chevron and your local dealer are proud to contribute all net proceeds from the sale of this special edition toy car to promote the early detection of breast cancer.

We have a brand new game that tests your visual cleverness on our Games page. Fuller's Fantabulous Fire Hose Game lets you help Fuller by aligning his fire hose to the flow of water in order to fight a raging fire. You literally need to twist together the pieces. This is your chance to really help Fuller do his job.

There are 12 levels to the game, offering many hours of clever fun. Your battle is against the clock. The highest scores are posted to the our new High Scoreboard which incorporates the new Game Name system (more on that soon!). Check out Fuller's Fantabulous Fire Hose Game.

Four new Victor E. Vans have arrived in our online store!

They are all related to college sports teams: the Brigham Young University Cougars, the University of Oregon Ducks, the University of Washington Huskies, and the University of California Berkeley Golden Bears.

Four great teams, four fine cars in each school's colors. Every Victor E. Van comes with a set of stickers for its home school team.

These cars will only be available in our online store until they run out and at the relevant college stadium stores or events.

So if you are interested, don't wait.

There 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.)

Each 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."

He 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 . . ..

One 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!

Have 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.
