Another source states it was used in Chevy cars in 1950.
OK WAH WAH WAH I'll give it to you

[DanS711]

From what I can dig up Myron Scott was actually an assistant director for the public relations department at Chevrolet. He left his job as a reporter for the Dayton Daily News in 1937 to take the job at Chevrolet. He was the founder of the Soap Box Derby in 1934 and convinced Chevrolet to begin sponsoring the event in 1935. This is apparently where his affiliation with Chevrolet began.

THE ANSWER I WAS LOOKING FOR IS CHEIF PHOTOGRAPHER BUT W'ELL GIVE IT TO YOU BECAUSE YOU HAVE OBVIOUSLY WORKED YOU BUTT OFF DIGGING FOR THE ANSWER.
