15. Chevy’s First V8 Engine
Many people would guess the Chevrolet Impala, or perhaps the Bel-Air. And although those automobiles did have V8 options, those guesses would be incorrect. The first V8 Chevrolet ever put into a vehicle didn’t occur during the muscle car boom of the 60s but rather, way back in 1918. That’s right, the 1918 D-Series cars Chevrolet produced had V8 engines. The first car ever to feature a V8 was a 1914 Cadillac.
