Camaro: An American Icon

The inside story of a Chevrolet great. The book is filled with authoritative text, interviews with the key people behind the Camaro, design artwork, and page after page of fascinating photos, many drawn from the GM archives.
Noted automotive author Gary Witzenburg and the auto editors of Consumer Guide outline Camaro s fast rise to stardom, which was fueled by a winning blend of style, performance, and enthusiast-oriented options like the Rally Sport and Super Sport packages.

The book follows the Camaro through five eras:

• The development and introduction of the 1966 Camaro, GM s tardy but bold answer to the 1964 Ford Mustang
• The second generation Camaro of the 1970s, which survived a near-death experience during the energy crisis
• The leaner, meaner third-generation Camaro of the 1980s, which kept the pony car flame burning despite opposing trends
• The 1992 debut of the Gen IV Camaro, which boasted major improvements on the previous designs but stumbled in the age of SUVs and seemed to mark the end of the line for the brand
• The exciting development of a new Camaro following an eight-year hiatus

Chevrolet Camaro - seit 1966

The first Chevrolet Camaro came onto the market in 1966. The American legend, ancestor of the "pony cars" named after him, is turning 50 this year. Truly a biblical age, which alone is proof enough of its economic success.

But cars only get that old if they manage to keep up with the times, always stay young and up-to-date. This requires numerous model maintenance measures, technical improvements and multiple generation changes.
More than enough material for author Matthias Gerst to launch a model compass for a very special vehicle.
