And Detroit's Big Three were locked in a continual battle to win the hearts and income of America's car buyers.</p><p>Until 1955, that is. The Hot One, as Chevy's 1955 ads called it, really was. In one model year, Chevrolet managed to wipe away its stodgy, stovebolt reputation with a new car that was utterly unlike its staid 1954 offering. It was as if Pat Boone had become Elvis Presley overnight.</p><p> </p></div>
