The 1967-69 Chevrolet Camaro

It wasn't until General Motors held a live press conference in Detroit’s Statler-Hilton Hotel, June 

 28th, 1966, that the Chevrolet branch revealed the all new Camaro. When the Committee asked 

 "what's a Camaro?",  Chevrolet General Manager, Pete Estes, replied "a small, vicious animal that 

 eats Mustangs." The name Camaro was conceived by Chevrolet Merchandising Manager Bob Lund and General Motors Vice President Ed Rollett, while reading a French-English dictionary. They found that the word meant "friend, pal, or comrade" The Camaro officially went on sale in dealerships on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year.

The 1967-69 Camaro debuted in September 1966 up to 1969 on a new rear-wheel drive GM F-body platform and was available as a 2-door coupé or convertible with 2+2 seating, and a choice of 230 cu in (3.8 L), 250 cu in (4.1 L) inline-6 or 302 cu in (4.9 L), 307 cu in (5.0 L), 327 cu in (5.4 L), 350 cu in (5.7 L), 396 cu in (6.5 L) or 427 cu in (7.0 L) V8 engines.   The Corvair would not be able to generate the sales volume of the Mustang due to its rear-engine design, as well as declining sales, partly due to the negative publicity from Ralph Nader's book, Unsafe at Any Speed. Therefore, the Camaro was touted as having the same conventional rear-drive, front-engine configuration as the Chevy II Nova and Mustang.
