At the end of the record-breaking Chipman & Taylor Classic Car Show, Tina Taylor-Amend shared these beautiful words about her father, Tom Taylor.
“Those who don’t know me my name is Tina Amend I am Tom’s youngest daughter. I would like to thank you all for being here. What a great day it has been.
Thank you for everything you taught me. Thank you for the memories. And thank you for showing us that sometimes the best journeys aren’t about the destination — they’re about who you share the road with.
Thank you for sharing this day with me in honor of my dad.
Winter Weather Is Here — Is Your Vehicle Ready?
Winter Weather Is Here — Is Your Vehicle Ready?
Chipman & Taylor Chevrolet • Pullman, WA
Winter weather is settling in across the Palouse — and that means it’s time to make sure your vehicle is ready for the season ahead. Cold temperatures, early sunsets, and icy roads can all impact your car’s performance, and a little preparation now can prevent major headaches later.
At Chipman & Taylor, we care about your safety on the road. Here are a few simple steps to help keep you moving confidently through the winter months:
🚗 Warm Your Vehicle Safely
When that morning chill hits, it’s tempting to start your car and let it warm up. Just remember: never warm your vehicle in a closed garage. Even a short warm-up can lead to a dangerous buildup of carbon monoxide. Always move your vehicle outside or open the garage door fully before starting it.
🛞 Check Tire Pressure and Tread
As temperatures drop, so does tire pressure — sometimes by several PSI overnight. Low pressure can reduce traction, making your vehicle harder to control on icy roads.
Take a moment to:
-
Check your tire pressure regularly
-
Inspect tread depth
-
Consider winter tires for added safety and grip
Our service department is happy to inspect these for you at any time.
💡 Clear All Windows and Mirrors
Visibility is everything during winter driving. Frost, fog, and snow can accumulate quickly.
Before pulling out of your driveway, make sure to:
-
Scrape all windows
-
Remove snow from mirrors, headlights, and roof
-
Give your defroster a moment to work
A clear view keeps you — and everyone around you — safer.
⛽ Keep Your Gas Tank at Least Half Full
Fuel lines can freeze when the temperature drops. Keeping your tank at least half full not only protects your vehicle but also ensures you’re prepared for unexpected delays or emergencies. It’s a small step that makes a big difference.
We’re Here to Help All Winter Long
If you’re unsure about your battery health, tire condition, or any other winter-related issue, swing by Chipman & Taylor. Our team is ready to make sure your vehicle is road-ready and reliable — because out here, relationships matter, and your safety matters even more.

The handshake means something here at Chipman & Taylor.

Chevrolet Corvette
The Future of Corvette: CX and Vision Gran Turismo
For more than 70 years, the Chevrolet Corvette has been America’s performance icon. Now, Corvette is racing into the future with bold concept cars that blend electric power, advanced technology, and head-turning style.

Corvette CX.R Vision Gran Turismo
The Corvette CX.R Vision Gran Turismo takes racing into the future. Inspired by Corvette’s GT racing history, it’s a hybrid concept built for endurance and high-speed excitement.
Key Racing Features
