Chevrolet Honors Michigan Icon Mike Ilitch
One of Michigan's biggest brands salutes one of the state's biggest supporters.
Following his February 10 death at the age of 87, Michigan hero Mike Ilitch was honored by Michigan automaker Chevrolet. This just might bring a tear to your eye.

Tributes with a brand name attached can be tricky but, if you ask me, this was very well done- much like Chevrolet's mourning the passing of Prince in 2016.
