1969 Camaro

The original 1969 Camaro

In the 1960s Chevrolet had one goal in mind. That was to beat Ford at any cost. This ambition led to many iconic cars from the brand that included the Nova, Impala and Chevelle. But there was still one Ford product that they had to measure up against, The Mustang. As a result, Chevrolet started developing a car that was codenamed “The Panther”. On June 28, 1966, the car was finally unveiled to the masses as the ‘Camaro’ and instantly hailed as an icon. Since then, it has consistently proved to be a worthy rival to the Mustang and developed a fan following of its own.

“As we prepare to say goodbye to the current generation Camaro, it is difficult to overstate our gratitude to every Camaro customer, Camaro assembly line employee and race fan,” said Scott Bell, vice president, Global Chevrolet. “While we are not announcing an immediate successor today, rest assured, this is not the end of Camaro’s story,” said Chevrolet in a statement.
