Chevrolet enjoys a long and distinguished history in Pakistan which pre-dates partition. The first Chevrolets came to British India in the early 1920s, and were sought after by nawabs, maharajas, and the social elite as part of their automobile collections. Chevrolet established an office in pre-partition India in 1928. An office was set up in Bombay with an assembly plant constructed in Sewree. General Motors (GM), Chevrolets parent company, was the first automobile company to open an assembly plant in India.

Production started in 1928 with the National Series AB Touring. The AB series came with Chevrolets well proven and reliable 171 cubic inches, 24.7hp four-cylinder engine. It featured Chevrolets first four-wheel mechanical brakes and wooden wheels. In the first year of production, 13,903 GM cars and trucks were built at Sewree, including products from other GM brands.
