Michael Moore says it was a Frenchman who built the Chevrolet.

Er, no.

First, Louis Chevrolet was born in La Chaux de Fonds, Switzerland. And second, he didn't build the Chevrolet. He was one of several engineers who worked for American-born entrepreneur W.C. Durant. Durant liked the guy's name and exploited it.

So, when it comes to Chevrolet, he wasn't French, and he didn't build the car.
