The 2024 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison is the all-new truck you want for your off-roading adventures and hard work while enjoying modern technological comforts!

From the moment it was introduced in 2016, the iconic sixth generation Camaro established itself as the leaner, meaner generation; culminating with the ZL1 1LE track athlete. Throughout the generation, Camaro featured a wide variety of special editions that ranged from charismatic with the 50 th Anniversary and Wild Cherry Design Package to edgy with the Shock and Steel and Redline Edition. As the Gen Six Camaro retires at the conclusion of the 2024 model year, Chevrolet is celebrating the car’s legacy of agility and style by offering a final special Collector’s Edition on the LT/RS, LT1, SS and ZL1 trims in North America. The 2024 Camaro Collector’s Edition resurfaces ties that date back to the development of the first-generation Camaro. Panther, the original code name for the program that became Camaro in the 1960s, provided inspiration for the Chevrolet Performance Design Studio’s efforts to cement the sixth generation of the car in history. “We found it fitting for this Collector’s Edition Camaro to officially recognize the significance of the original code name and share it with Camaro enthusiasts,” said Rich Scheer, design director, Chevrolet Performance. “Of course, the name ‘Panther’ influenced the colors used, Panther Black Metallic for SS and Panther Matte Black for ZL1.” The Collector’s Edition equips LT/RS, LT1 and SS trims with a new Panther Black Metallic Tintcoat paint, Satin Black accent stripes, 20-inch Satin Black or optional Polished Forged Wheels, the front splitter from the 1LE package and coupes receive the rear spoiler from the ZL1 package. The 650 horsepower LT4-powered ZL1 Collector’s Edition, limited to 350 units, will feature a Panther Black Matte exterior color – the first matte paint offered on Camaro from the factory. The ZL1 will also feature the front splitter from the ZL1 1LE, and the rear wing from ZL1 1LE on coupes. The Black Metallic ZL1 stripe, red brake calipers and black lug nuts complete the exterior look. On the inside, all 350 Collector’s Edition ZL1 vehicles receive a serialized steering wheel badge representing where that vehicle was built in sequence. Across all builds, Camaro Collector’s Editions receive unique front fender script badging that integrates a panther into the “R,” and a panther on the steering wheel badge. These Camaro builds also feature special floor mats with a laser-etched aluminum Collector’s Edition logo and unique black interior treatments. Those who purchase a Camaro Collector’s Edition will receive a welcome kit which contains two posters commemorating the Camaro generations and the Collector’s Edition. Camaro ZL1 Collector’s Edition owners will also receive a bespoke Canfield Sport 45mm watch from Shinola commemorating the Collector’s Edition, with an inscribed serial number that matches the number on their vehicle’s steering wheel badge. Thoughtfully crafted to carry the same ebonized presence as the 2024 Camaro Collector’s Edition, this wearable keepsake hosts Camaro and panther motifs, from the panther engraved watch band to the Camaro logo housed on the watch face. “Shinola is proud to share a legacy for quality, craftsmanship and performance with the Camaro nameplate, and we cherish the Detroit heritage that both Shinola and Chevrolet have,” Shinola CEO Awenate Cobbina said. Additional 2024 updates The 2024 Chevrolet Camaro will be available in coupe and convertible on LT, LT1, SS and ZL1 trims, with 1LE remaining an available option on SS and ZL1. Power for 2024 Camaro builds will come from the 3.6L V-6, 6.2L LT1 V-8 and the supercharged 6.2L LT4 V-8. New exterior colors Riptide Blue and Nitro Metallic Yellow can be selected across all trims. Chevrolet dealers will begin accepting orders for the 2024 Chevrolet Camaro on June 15, with a starting MSRP of $32,495 for the LT coupe and $38,495 for the LT convertible.

Corvette Executive Chief Engineer Tadge Juechter was on hand to generate excitement and encourage bids as the E-Ray crossed the block Saturday afternoon. Founded in 2000 with the goal of making it easy for anyone to provide resources to teachers, DonorsChoose has now fulfilled more than two and a half million classroom projects by connecting donors directly with requests from educators. Rick Hendrick, chairman and CEO of Hendrick Automotive Group and owner of 14-time NASCAR Cup Series champions Hendrick Motorsports, cast the winning bid of $1.1 million. One hundred percent of this sale price will assist DonorsChoose in continuing to meet the needs of public schools in low-income communities. Front 3/4 view of 2024 Chevrolet Corvette E-Ray in Riptide Blue crossing the auction block at the 2023 Barrett-Jackson Palm Beach auction. “General Motors and Chevrolet are proud to join DonorsChoose on its mission of combatting inequality in school funding by providing underserved communities with the resources needed for a quality education,” said Steve Majoros, chief marketing officer, Chevrolet. “The Corvette E-Ray is a special product for Chevrolet, and we are honored that the proceeds from the sale of VIN 001 will aid this organization in supporting students and teachers around the nation.” E-Ray marks an inflection point in the model’s 70-year history, expanding what Corvette can deliver. Powered by a 6.2L Small Block V-8 in the rear and an electric motor on the front axle, the first all-wheel drive Corvette produces a combined 655 horsepower. This is the quickest Corvette in history, completing 0-60 mph runs in 2.5 seconds. Prior to the sale of the 2024 Corvette E-Ray, Chevrolet also auctioned off first retail production models of the 2020 Corvette Stingray and the 2023 Corvette Z06. Together, these vehicles bring the total amount of money raised for charity by eighth generation Corvettes at Barrett-Jackson auctions to $9.1 million.

Chevrolet continues to be the leader in heavy hauling necessary for busines and recreation. This story originally appeared in the Chevrolet's online magazine, New Roads. Small business owner Patrick Carl puts great care into storing and transporting people’s most treasured belongings. His heavy-duty Silverado HD makes it all possible. People put a lot of faith in Patrick Carl. They trust him to transport and store their treasured possessions, from precious family portraits and heirlooms to the everyday items that make a house a home. “I try to handle everybody’s belongings like I want mine taken care of,” says Carl, who relies on his 2020 Silverado 3500 HD LT pickup truck to do the work. Carl, 40, owns Create Space Storage near Kalamazoo, Michigan. He delivers high-end portable storage vaults directly to homes and businesses. When those containers are packed, he transports them wherever clients need them to be. Customers use the vaults to move their belongings to new homes and for temporary storage, such as during renovations. For those who need an off-site or long-term storage solution, containers are stashed in Carl’s climate-controlled warehouse. “It’s kind of like valet self-storage,” he explains. The Details Matter SILVERADO 3500 HD 6.6L AVAILABLE DURAMAX ® TURBO-DIESEL V8 ENGINE 445/910 AVAILABLE HP/LB.-FT. OF TORQUE † 20,000 LB. MAX CONVENTIONAL TOWING † Explore Silverado HD Build and Price Full containers are heavy. A load can top out at 12,000 pounds when you add the weight of the 30-foot-long trailer and delivery equipment, handled well by his truck’s towing capacity. “It’s heavy hauling,” Carl says, “but the pulling is just as smooth as can be” with the available Duramax ® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8 engine, which generates a confidence-instilling 445 horsepower and 910 pound-feet of torque. † Driving down the road, I don’t even realize I’ve got the trailer on the back,” he says — and he’s delivered full storage containers as far as 200 miles away. “When we go long distances, the comfort in the cab is very nice.” Carl particularly enjoys the available heated driver and front passenger seats and heated steering wheel, which offer quick warmth after loading and unloading in cold Michigan winters. And finding customer locations is a breeze with Apple CarPlay ® compatibility. † “Having the navigation right on the screen is helpful,” Carl says.Previous Slide Some companies will use a small semi-truck to haul large storage containers. “I went with the Chevy truck because, at the end of the day, I can use it personally, too,” Carl says. “I can unhook from the trailer and take it to go play soccer, or golf, or mountain biking, or whatever I want to do after work.” On weekends, it’s not uncommon to find him loading up the truck bed with materials for a home landscaping project or towing a boat to nearby Gull Lake with his wife, Jenica, and young son, Paxton. The spacious cab has plenty of room for friends and family. The rear bench seat accommodates Paxton’s car seat, their dog Maya, and even the large toolbox Carl carries for work.Previous Slide RESTORING THE PAST: Patrick Carl’s 1960 Chevrolet C60 Viking work truck in the process of restoration. When he completes the renovation, he plans to show it at nearby cruise-ins for vintage automobiles. Reliability, then and now And, it’s a Chevy. Carl grew up driving Chevrolets and is restoring a 1960 Chevrolet C60 Viking work truck, which he plans to show at vintage car cruise-ins at the nearby Gilmore Car Museum. He even restored a historic lumber building to serve as his warehouse. For Carl, his Silverado HD is the right mix of modern technology and trusted heritage. “I don’t lose sleep wondering if my equipment is going to break down on me,” he says. Dependability is crucial when customers suffer a catastrophic event like a flood and need immediate, secure storage for their belongings. Being there when it counts has helped Create Space Storage grow from 24 containers in 2019 to a 110-container operation today. Carl also delivers rugged containers for construction sites and mobile offices. To keep up with demand, he recently bought a 2022 Silverado 2500 HD LTZ diesel pickup to expand his fleet. “I do everything I can to make my clients happy,” Carl says, and doing that hinges on his Chevy truck. “I heavily rely on it.”

Chevrolet Motorsports will continue to compete across the world; Chevrolet announces this is not the final chapter for nameplate. After nine strong model years in the market, with hundreds of thousands sold, the sixth generation Chevrolet Camaro will retire at the conclusion of model year 2024.The final sixth generation Camaros will come off the assembly line at the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant in Michigan in January 2024. Available in coupe and soft-top convertible variants, this latest generation Camaro is known for supreme athleticism and composure. Magnetic Ride Control became available on the Camaro SS in the sixth generation and track-focused 1LE packages proliferated through all levels of the lineup for the first time. The ultimate street-legal track Camaro, the 650 horsepower ZL1 1LE, produced the fastest time for any Camaro around GM’s Milford Road Course at the company’s Milford Proving Ground in Michigan. Whether it is picking up awards for on-road performance, or race wins and championships at tracks across the world, Camaro has demonstrated Chevrolet’s ability to win in the most demanding environments. “As we prepare to say goodbye to the current generation Camaro, it is difficult to overstate our gratitude to every Camaro customer, Camaro assembly line employee and race fan,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Global Chevrolet. “While we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro’s story.” Chevrolet will celebrate this storied nameplate with the addition of the Collector’s Edition package on the 2024 Camaro RS and SS, and on a limited number of ZL1 equipped vehicles available in North America. The Collector’s Edition pays homage to Camaro, resurfacing ties that date back to the development of the first generation Camaro in the 1960s, most notably the program’s initial code name: Panther. More information on the 2024 Camaro line and Collector’s Edition package will be available closer to the start of orders this summer. Since our founding days with Louis Chevrolet, performance always has been and will continue to be an integral part of Chevrolet’s DNA. From Corvette to Colorado and Silverado ZR2, to Tahoe RST and Blazer EV SS 1, the brand will continue to offer a range of exhilarating vehicles for the street, the track and off-road. Motorsports Chevrolet campaigns the sixth generation Camaro in a variety of series, including NASCAR, IMSA, SRO, NHRA and the Supercars Championship. Camaro will continue to compete on track, working with motorsports sanctioning bodies to ensure Chevrolet’s presence in racing moving forward. “Chevrolet’s products and our relationship with our customers benefit from motorsports,” said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet U.S. vice president, Performance and Motorsports. “Our plan is to continue to compete and win at the highest levels of auto racing.”

First-ever eAWD Corvette E-Ray uses an advanced electrified propulsion system in addition to its 6.2L LT2 Small Block V-8 enabling all-season performance and composure — and 0-60 mph in 2.5 seconds Exactly 70 years after the Corvette debuted at Motorama in New York City, Chevrolet has returned to introduce the first-ever electrified Corvette with all-wheel-drive and a powerful 6.2L LT2 Small Block V-8, the 2024 E-Ray. “In 1953, the enthusiastic reaction to the Chevrolet Corvette concept kicked off seven decades of passion, performance and American ingenuity,” said Mark Reuss, General Motors president. “E-Ray, as the first electrified, all-wheel-drive Corvette, takes it a step further and expands the promise of what Corvette can deliver.” Developed to be the Corvette owners can arrive in anywhere, no matter the season, the new E-Ray — available in removeable roof coupe and hardtop convertible models — uses electrification to enhance the driving experience with intense straight-line performance, all-weather confidence and sure-footed grand touring capabilities that can only be achieved with eAWD. E-Ray is also the only sports car pairing two separate propulsion systems to provide naturally aspirated V-8 power with electrified responsiveness powered by eAWD, making it one like none. “Corvette has been a halo for Chevrolet since 1953,” said Scott Bell, vice president of Chevrolet. “E-Ray’s unprecedented blend of confidence, luxury performance, sophistication and style provides a new reason for more people to experience Corvette.” The E-Ray is the quickest production Corvette in history, clocking a 2.5-second 0-60 mph time before breezing through the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds. “Corvettes must provide an exhilarating driving experience on backroads and tracks, and E-Ray nails it,” said Tadge Juechter, executive chief engineer, Corvette. “The electrification technology enhances the feeling of control in all conditions, adding an unexpected degree of composure.” A near immediate feeling of thrust from low-end torque is core to the Corvette driving experience, and the E-Ray packs plenty of it. Power comes from the 6.2L LT2 Small Block V-8, putting 495 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque to the rear axle. It is complemented by an electric motor that channels an additional 160 horsepower and 125 lb-ft of torque through the front wheels via a 1.9 kWh battery pack, which is located between the seats. In total, E-Ray produces a combined 655 horsepower from both the electric motor and Small Block V-8. Creating its own lane E-Ray’s intelligent eAWD system is constantly learning the road surface, seamlessly adapting to meet traction conditions and driver needs. During spirited driving and in low traction environments, E-Ray’s eAWD system applies additional power to the front wheels, helping to enhance vehicle stability. There is no need for plug-in charging for the E-Ray’s battery system. The battery is charged via regenerative energy from coasting and braking, as well as during normal driving. Additional features and technologies of the all-new E-Ray include: Stealth Mode, an electric drive mode for the street, up to 45 mph New lightweight lithium-ion 12-volt battery that supports the LT2 V-8 engine’s stop/start functionality Standard Brembo Carbon Ceramic brake system for optimal braking performance Standard Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 with three distinct suspension settings Staggered 20- and 21-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport all-season tires. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires are available with an optional performance package Low, wide stance with crafted body styling that is 3.6 inches wider overall than Stingray Visceral sound experience that embodies the car’s dominating presence. The electric front motor works in harmony with the LT2 engine to create an invigorating sound Enhanced roster of driver assistance technologies (shared with all 2024 Corvette models), including Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Alert and Automatic Emergency Braking. Electrified propulsion details The 2024 Corvette E-Ray’s electrified propulsion system provides exhilarating acceleration to power out of corners and effortlessly complete passing maneuvers. It can also provide limited all-electric propulsion at the driver’s discretion upon startup. E-Ray’s standard Active Fuel Management system uses the electric motor to extend 4-cylinder operation in various driving scenarios. The amount of electric assist is tailored within each of the Corvette E-Ray’s six driver-selectable modes: Tour, Sport, Track, Weather, My Mode and Z-Mode. Drivers can also select the Charge+ feature which maximizes the battery’s state of charge. E-Ray Performance App on the infotainment system provides the driver with technical insights into how the propulsion system is operating. There are three primary display layouts: Gauges (displays dynamic power output from electric motor and V-8 engine) Dyno (provides graph of power/torque across selectable time intervals) Data (showcases electrical system performance and efficiency). The Corvette E-Ray’s electric motor over the front axle is compact, preserving space in the front storage compartment. Stealth Mode and tracking the E-Ray The Corvette E-Ray’s two driver-initiated electric modes enable the car to travel under electric propulsion in certain conditions. The electric motor also optimizes track performance. Stealth Mode enables all-electric driving, when selected at start-up, for a period of time before the engine turns on for normal driving. It is designed for quietly exiting a neighborhood, with a maximum speed of 45 mph. The engine automatically engages if the vehicle’s speed exceeds the limit, additional torque is requested by the driver, or the E-Ray’s battery pack is depleted. When it comes to leveraging the electrified propulsion system for enhanced track performance, E-Ray's eAWD control system applies torque to the front axle as needed. The Charge+ feature can be used to maximize battery state of charge for extended lapping. The custom-designed Performance Traction Management (PTM) modes are optimized in concert with the eAWD propulsion system. Distinguished design E-Ray’s appearance builds on the refined athletic styling and performance-driven design Corvette customers know and love. At a glance, the E-Ray shares its purposeful, wide-body proportions with the Z06, accommodating wide wheels that help manage the car’s greater torque delivery. The lightweight alloy wheels have a twisted five-spoke star design that is exclusive to E-Ray. “There’s never been a Corvette like E-Ray and its sophisticated design reflects that,” said Phil Zak, executive design director, Global Chevrolet. “It starts with the body color trim which draws your full attention to the exotic proportions of the E-Ray. The interiors allow customers to reflect their individual personalities with their choice of color executions that provide a refined or dynamic sport look and feel.” E-Ray design highlights include: Four aluminum wheel finishes Fourteen exterior color choices — including new for 2024 Riptide Blue, Seawolf Gray and Cacti An E-Ray-exclusive body-length stripe package in Electric Blue Standard carbon flash badging Available black exhaust tips and bright badging Available carbon fiber ground effects Optional carbon fiber wheels in carbon flash, visible carbon fiber finish or visible carbon fiber with a red stripe The E-Ray also introduces the all-new Artemis Dipped interior, which features complementary deep green tones on nearly every interior surface and will only be available on 2024 Corvettes. There are multiple options for customers to select when it comes to personalizing their E-Ray’s interior including two carbon fiber trim packages, three seat choices, seven interior colors, and more. Additionally, there are new Charge+ and Stop/Start buttons on the console and updates to the infotainment system and instrument cluster aimed at providing a more integrated appearance. Coming later this year The 2024 Corvette E-Ray goes on sale in 2023, with an MSRP of $104,295 for the 1LZ coupe and $111,295 for the 1LZ convertible model, with production to take place at GM’s Bowling Green Assembly facility in Kentucky, from U.S. and globally sourced parts.

First-ever all-wheel drive and electrified Corvette, the 2024 E-Ray, makes dramatic debut on the ice On January 17, the first-ever electrified Chevrolet Corvette, the 2024 E-Ray, was revealed in dramatic fashion at The Rink at Rockefeller Center, performing advanced maneuvers on the ice to showcase the vehicle’s eAWD capabilities, while also marking 70 years of performance and innovation for Corvette. Exactly 70 years ago, on Jan. 17, 1953, Corvette made its world debut at GM Motorama in New York City. “In honor of Corvette’s momentous debut in New York City, we returned exactly 70 years later to expand the idea of what a Corvette can deliver with the electrified all-wheel drive Corvette E-Ray,” said Scott Bell, vice president of Global Chevrolet.

At General Motors, we believe self-driving cars will change the world, and we’re at a pivotal point when people will be able to experience them in the near future and we’re excited about that. We recently donated one of General Motors’ first publicly driven self-driving vehicles to The Henry Ford Museum, an internationally recognized history destination that honors the innovations that helped shape America. The modified pre-production Chevrolet Bolt EV is the first autonomous car in the Dearborn, Michigan museum’s collection of 26 million artifacts. A significant step in self-driving technology The car began testing on the streets of San Francisco in 2016 and is a significant step in the development of self-driving technology. It was developed in close collaboration with Cruise Automation and represents our unique approach to building AVs from the ground up, seamlessly integrating the self-driving system into the vehicle. The Bolt EV is equipped with cameras, radar and LIDAR sensors and has an onboard computer. The sensing system and computer platform allow the vehicle to observe the world around it in 360 degrees and make near real-time decisions to navigate the road safely. The Chevrolet Bolt EV takes its place in the “Driving America” exhibit at The Henry Ford Museum Changing our lives forever “Autonomous vehicles will change people’s lives forever, just as the automobile itself did more than a hundred years ago,” said General Motors President Mark Reuss. “The Henry Ford is a treasured institution where past and present innovations are documented and displayed, and GM is proud to provide our autonomous test vehicle to serve as an inspiration to the innovators of tomorrow.” Increasing safety and access to transportation This technology will play a key role in our vision to create a world with Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions and Zero Congestion. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2017, more than 37,000 people in the United States lost their lives to car crashes, including almost 6,000 pedestrians. Self-driving vehicles hold enormous potential benefits for society by eliminating human driver error and providing access to transportation. Supporting innovative experiences In 2017, General Motors gifted The Henry Ford Museum $5 million toward innovative experiences and new exhibitions and programs. Check out the self-driving Bolt EV today near the entrance of the “Driving America” exhibit inside The Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. A Henry Ford guest experiences a self-driving vehicle for the first time General Motors’ self-driving Chevrolet Bolt EV is an example of true American innovation. Our passion, imagination and drive to transform the future of mobility is stronger than ever.

This article first appeared in Chevrolet's online magazine, New Roads. After revealing the Silverado EV in January, Chevy has been hard at work to be sure future customers will have the best possible ownership experience with the only electric pickup worthy of the Silverado name. Beginning with its keynote unveiling at CES in January 2022 and the subsequent Super Bowl LVI ad that reimagined one of the most iconic opening sequences in TV history, the Silverado EV, arriving in fall 2023, has been building excitement and momentum. So much momentum, in fact, that to take it along for a good, long drive, you’d need a Silverado EV. “We purposefully decided to build an all-new vehicle, an all-new truck from the ground up,” says Nichole Kraatz, chief engineer for battery-electric trucks. “It’s so important for full-size truck customers to be able to tow, haul, and do everything they can do in a traditional pickup truck.” That includes getting an available GM-estimated 400 miles † of range on a full charge, Kraatz says. When the Silverado EV First-Edition RST arrives, it will offer the kind of capability drivers expect from a truck with the Silverado name: GM-estimated 754 horsepower † and 785 pound-feet of torque † in Wide Open Watts mode, and GM-estimated 10,000 pounds of towing capacity. † This power and capability is enabled by the groundbreaking Ultium battery platform, which also allowed engineers to hit that range number Kraatz mentioned. So the baseline was set at the beginning of the year. As 2022 progressed, the emphasis was on continued behind-the-scenes work by designers and engineers as well as other more public tasks to prepare for the truck’s arrival. Those included readying Factory ZERO, the Michigan plant where the Silverado EV will be built, † and preparing the electric infrastructure that not only will welcome Silverado EV owners but will also benefit owners of any of the vehicles in Chevy’s expanded family of EVs. Out of the public eye, those designers and engineers have been busy perfecting all the important details. The vast majority of people who reserved the Silverado EV said they’ll use it for towing, so Chevy’s team has been hard at work to ensure customers will have the towing capabilities they’ve come to expect. Preparing for wider EV adoption in the coming years, Chevy and GM continued to build out the important support systems owners will need to make going electric easy. With an Ultium Home accessory charging unit, you’ll be able to move power between your properly equipped Silverado EV and your home to keep your lights on for up to 21 days † in the event of a power outage. In 2021, GM announced a $750 million investment in charging infrastructure and introduced Ultium Charge 360, a charging ecosystem designed to make electric vehicle charging a seamless experience. In 2022, the work of expanding the charging network continued; Chevy EV owners now have access to more than 100,000 charge points. The Energy Assist feature in the myChevrolet Mobile App † helps owners find those chargers and navigate the best routes. Thanks to Plug and Charge, a service that allows you to simply plug your Silverado EV into a public charger and start charging, there’s no need to even swipe a credit card. After a one-time activation in the myChevrolet app (along with active OnStar Connected Services and an EVgo account), plugging in your vehicle is as easy as plugging in your phone. GM has also been working with Pilot and Flying J travel centers to install 2,000 fast chargers in 500 locations. And another initiative, the Dealer Community Charging Program, aims to work with GM dealers to place up to 40,000 Level 2 chargers in rural, urban, and suburban communities in the U.S. and Canada. All this work to increase access to charging infrastructure is part of careful planning that has happened alongside vehicle development. “We don’t want drivers thinking about charging,” says Dalya Aboona, Global EV Ecosystem & Charging Experience assistant manager. “We can’t just talk the talk. We have to make it happen.” Wherever you take your Silverado EV or whatever you need it to do, you’ll be covered thanks to the groundwork laid in 2022. PHOTOGRAPHY: CLINT DAVIS, DAVE HILL
