Sparking up a three-month long sales campaign just in time for the Holiday season, the 4-day Chevy Motorama event attracted car enthusiasts, Chevy aficionados, and mall-goes, young and old alike.

Being the “Grand daddy” of all trucks under Chevy, the Light Delivery was the very first truck variant that Chevrolet has ever made, and as their way of showcasing their advancements in automotive engineering, they created the Pickup, which had gained an enormous following, thanks to its purpose-oriented nature and build-quality. Being icons in their own times, the iconic latest generation Chevrolet Camaro was also on the spotlight, and have immediately made photographers and videographers “ROLL OUT” their gadgets, for this car once again starred as the Autobot Bumblebee in the latest instalment of the Transformers Movie franchise.
