The founder of General Motors, William Durant, hired Louis Chevrolet, a Swiss mechanic, in 1911, but Chevrolet was not long thereafter fired because he smoked, a habit which Durant could not bear. However, Durant kept Chevrolet as a name for some of his automobiles.
Hope this is what you are looking for...
