“See the USA in your Chevrolet” January Jingles Trivia

Congratulations to those of you who answered the most recent trivia! “See the USA in your Chevrolet” was a popular jingle in the 1950s.

The song was the Chevrolet jingle sung on the show Inside U.S.A. with Chevrolet by Chevrolet’s real-life husband-wife duo, Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy, years before it became associated with Dinah Shore through Chevrolet’s decade-long sponsorship of her television shows. Dinah Shore sang the song after 1952, and it became something of a signature song for her. Later the song was also sung by male spokesman Pat Boone on his Pat Boone-Chevy Showroom (ABC) from 1957 through 1960. When the games of the Los Angeles Dodgers were televised in the 1960s, commercials were aired with the song sung by Johnny Roseboro and Don Drysdale, whose singing careers, announcer Vin Scully said, were “destined to go absolutely nowhere.”
