This was big news and Chevron needed a big way to tell the world about it. Enter Young & Rubicam Advertising and a simple idea: Who would be the best person to tell the world about Chevron with Techron? It turns out, not a person at all, but a car. A talking car. And eventually, lots of talking cars. Because, while people dont think about gasoline all that much, cars do. ACar is Born1995 - 2009Chevron enlisted Academy Award winning Aardman Animation,creators of Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run and many other animated films, to create the cars that love to talk about Techron. Using models hand built fromplastic modeling clay, Aardman brought the cars to life using the painstaking stop-motion animation technique they are so famous for. Shooting one frame of film at a time, each thirty second commercial took about thirty days to film.Over the years, Aardman created over fifty Chevron Car commercials using the stop-motion technique.Because the popularity of the Chevron Cars grew so swiftly, the Chevron cars used in commercials became replicated as Chevron Toy Cars (now collectible)after run-off stopped.Over a 15 year period, 60+ Toy Car models were created and sold at Chevron collected by both adults and kids alike.(Free Bonus) Order Includes Highly Collectible "Are we there Yet?"
