The Evolution of The Chevrolet Camaro from 1966 to 2017

Jan 6, 2017

 

The Chevrolet Camaro is an American “muscle” car that has has gone through 5 generations of epic transformation.  Originally, it went on sale on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year and was designed as a competing model to the Ford Mustang. The car shared its platform and major components with the Pontiac Firebird, also introduced for 1967.  Four distinct and consecutive generations of the Camaro were developed before production ended in 2002. The nameplate was revived on a concept car that evolved into the fifth-generation Camaro with the launch of the Transformer’s movie that relaunched the car’s popularity in the United States.  From 1966 to 2005, and then 2010-2017, check out how the Camaro has evolved year by year as a beloved pony car for all generations.

Find Quality Touch Up Paint

Order touch up paint on-line!

All touch up paint is not created equal! The generic paints you buy at auto part stores will likely NOT match your vehicle’s paint exactly. Believe it or not, even the OEM dealers usually stock “close enough” colors. We recommend PaintScratch.com since their high quality paint is freshly made, they custom mix each order for you upon receipt, and they offer a color match guarantee.
