Chevrolet Emblem "story"

Found this from "OMG Facts" on twitter. Thought I would share here. Any truth to this?

The Chevrolet emblem is based off of a wallpaper design from Paris
When you think Chevy don't you think manly? Well, suprisingly, the design for the emblem of this many car company was inspired by dainty wallpaper from a hotel in Paris.

There are several stories about the logo but this one is the most famous and popular. It is said that the co-founder of Chevy, William Durant, saw the pattern on a wallpaper and fell in love with it.

So next time you see a Chevy commercial with Eminem music playing in the background remember that the emblem originated on wallpaper in Paris.

Oo lala!
