 * = Comparison ||
 * Both Chevrolet and Ford have legendary discoveries, from the assembly line to the Chevy small-block. Both companies have also felt great loss. The bottom line is that both companies have similar interests and different interests. On top of that, both companies, along with others, were locked in great competition. Most companies that stood up against Ford were bought out, and their ideas were used in Ford's name. Chevy, however, would use innovative ideas, creating new ideas like Ford's. This created a great web of interaction and conflict between the companies, although most if not all conflicts were healthful, and did not involve politic-like slandering. The creation of __//Sister Cars//__ was one of the largest sources of these conflicts. ||
