Has a passenger vehicle ever been offered with both Ford and Chevy badges?

If so, can you name it?

(The little bits of trivia that you stumble upon.)

If so, this borders on the heretical. I'm not sure that everyone present is going to be able to handle it without having their head explode.

I would have to say something like a jeep or tank from ww2... but then again you said passenger vehicle. :shrug:

Is it a car that was sold in the US?

It's got to be British, right? Maybe a Jag with a 4L60 behind it?

Ford De Luxe 1937-40 Chevrolet Deluxe 1941-52

Not the same car, but similar names. Is the question asking about the exact same car with different badges?

Hypercar.

It's mostly like a WWII Jeep OR some crapcan import that's presently happening

Same car, different badges.

hmmmm...hard time for the past. but the 2017 Camaro / 2017 Mustangs share a transmission?

Edit: Does Thomas put us in the right area?

No answer from me, but I have a sneaking suspicion it was one of those Argentinian mutts.

The Chevy C-MV and Ford Pronto appear to be based on the same Suzuki platform:

I'm willing to bet that is a car in another country, though. Did the car have actual Ford and Chevrolet badges or it once of the sub-brands from them? Like Holden, Opal, Lincoln, etc.?

From the article:

They have been sold under a myriad different names in several countries, and holds the distinction of being the only car ever offered both with Chevrolet and Ford badges.[1]

Looks like we have a winner?

Yep. That's the one that I was thinking of. Congrats. So, was that Google-fu or old-school knowledge? Either way, we all learned something today.

Neat

Google Fu. The amount of old-school knowledge that I possess is staggeringly low.

I was going to say 32 deuce.

Not a passenger vehicle but both Ford and Chevrolet built for the Canadian army. The CMP.

I was thinking of the Frontenac cylinder heads for the Model T, but I don't think they actually had the brothers' name on it, it said Frontenac, I think, been a while since I saw one.

There is more on the Frontenac.

In Canada we got this 1932 Frontenac - it is a relative of Durant. So rather GM-ish.

Then the rare Canadian 1960 Frontenac - one year only variant on the Ford Falcon.

Well if I recall some of my history correctly Ford was an engineer / owner at Cadillac but sold his interest when they headed in a direction he didn't like.

No Ford involvement but made me think of this.

Hey, so technically did the 80s/90s cars with T5s. The V6 4th-gen F-bodies had "Ford" pattern transmissions to boot, not Chevy-since-time-immemorial bolt pattern units! Probably as a cost saving measure, cheaper to make new bellhousings than pay Borg-Warner to keep making GM pattern transmissions for the last GM model to use a T5, when the majoriy of T5s made were Ford pattern anyway.

Not sure if counts: The new COPO Camaros had Ford 9" rearends. Probably doesn't count because Ford stopped making that part ove thirty years ago, it's merely "Aftermarket Generic Rearend" now.
