pickup trucks from the first one to the present day. I thought what a nice idea. I thought that I might try something similar with some of the car pictures I have collected. I have been collecting pictures of Studebakers, Packards Nash, Hudson and Jeeps for some time now and I first wrote a web page on this page on the Studebaker. Then one on Jeeps and Packard followed. Then came one Nash and Hudson. I have since added a page on old Pickup Trucks , Hudson, Essex and Terrplanes of Australia , Volkswagen Kaiser and Henry J and then with the help of one of my visitors have written one on the Crosley. All my previous pages had been on orphaned cars but now I thought I would try one a bit different. So here is my effort on the Chevrolet Camaro These pictures came for a number
of sources including web
I would like to invite any one that
has a favorite Camaro picture or a Web Page

A Brief History of the Chevrolet Camaro
| Reports began circulating around
April 1965 within the automotive community that Chevrolet was preparing
a competitor to the Ford Mustang. Some thought the name of this new car
was going to be the "Panther" General Motors decided to make the official
announcement of June 28 1965.
They held a live press conference in Detroit’s Statler-Hilton Hotel. This press conferance made history in two way. It announced the New car and it was the first time in history that 14 cities were hooked up in real time for a press conference via telephone lines. What a way to Introduce the CAMARO. However the name of this new car was not Panther but a name that Chevrolet chose in keeping with other car names beginning with the letter C such as the Corvair, Chevelle, Chevy II, and Corvette. It would be Camaro. When Chevrolet product managers was asked, "What is a Camaro?" they were told it was "a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs and so it was. The Camrao went on sale September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year. |
