The world has now seen a century of Chevy trucks, and two new special edition pickups are showing off that milestone.

Chevrolet is marking the 100th anniversary of its first truck offered to the public in 1918 with 2018 Centennial editions of its Silverado and Colorado pickups, which both include nostalgic design cues like a throwback bowtie emblem up front and at the rear hearkening to vintage Chevy trucks.

The Silverado Centennial Edition will be available on the LTZ Z71 crew cab and is slated to arrive at dealerships next month. The Colorado Centennial Edition will follow shortly on their heels, arriving in November, and will be offered on Z71 crew and extended cabs.

Before computerization had fully taken hold and automotive work took someone who speaks engine, Aaron grew up in Upstate New York taking cars apart and fixing and rewiring them, keeping more than a few great jalopies (classics) on the road that probably didn't deserve to be. He spent a decade inside the Beltway covering Congress and the intricacies of the health care system before a stint in local New England news, picking up awards for both pen and camera.

He wrote about you-name-it, from transportation and law and the courts to events of all kinds and telecommunications, and landed in trucking when he joined FleetOwner in July 2015. Long an editorial leader, he was a keeper of knowledge at FleetOwner ready to dive in on the technical and the topical inside and all-around trucking—and still turned a wrench or two. Or three.

Aaron previously wrote for FleetOwner.
