Fifty years ago, on September 29, 1966, an American icon was born when the very first 1967 Camaro was sold. To commemorate this momentous occasion as well as Camaro’s illustrious past, which includes six unforgettable generations and more than 5 million units sold, Chevrolet is celebrating with an interactive timeline and retrospective video, both viewable on www.CamaroFifty.com.
The interactive timeline, utilising the one-of-a-kind 3-by-18-metre mural created by Chevrolet in collaboration with its advertising agency and a design collective, allows users to explore artwork of each Camaro generation and uncover special photos and facts that showcase the Camaro’s rich history and its evolution over the course of five decades.
The retrospective video celebrates all six generations and chronicles the connection between Camaro’s design and performance and the enthusiasts who owned them.
Visitors to www.CamaroFifty.com will also be able to enjoy highlights from 2016 summer’s Camaro 50th Anniversary Celebration, which included a car show and tours at the Lansing Grand River Assembly plant; a Camaro Rally of approximately 300 Camaros that concluded at the Woodward Dream Cruise; and the 2017 50th Anniversary Edition coupes and convertibles.
“Camaro fans share a lot of creative passion for the car – passion for performance and for styling – that was passed along in every generation,” said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. “Camaro’s 50th birthday reminds us of Chevy’s history of ingenuity and design excellence. We want to honour our past by creating more exhilarating and stunning Camaros year after year, and that’s what we plan to do.”
The Chevy Camaro is an action movie star, too.
The Chevy Camaro ZL1 is one of the greatest American sports coupes.
