From my early teens when I first started looking at cars as something I may drive and own one day, the Camaro caught my eye.\u00a0 It was the only car that I wanted at the time.\u00a0 So I saved up my money and when I turned 16 my father helped me purchase a 1972 Camaro.\u00a0 I read book after book on the Camaro and knew its history inside and out.\u00a0 Today my interests have turned to British and European cars and motorcycles but I have always had an eye for the Camaro.<\/p>\n

You can trace the Camaro’s roots back to the early 1960s and the Corvair.\u00a0 GM developed the Corvair to compete with the import market which was out selling US cars.\u00a0 Soon after the introduction of the Corvair it was decided that the Corvair needed some dressing up.\u00a0 The outcome was the Monza.\u00a0 The Corvair Monza was a big success.\u00a0 It also caught the attention of Lee Iacocca at Ford and a few years later the Mustang was on the market.\u00a0 And we all know how well the Mustang did.\u00a0 So GM had to come back with something – the answer was the Camaro.\u00a0 Over the years the Camaro wore many diferent faces that most do not know about.\u00a0 In this newsletter I will introduce some of the not so well known Camaros.<\/p>\n

Here are some concept drawings from 1964 with a fastback roofline.<\/p>\n

These were drawn in May of 1969.<\/p>\n
