Almost all collectors know the spectacular history of the Camaro.
Introduced in 1967 to compete with the Ford Mustang, it’s characterized by its four-seat format, available in coupe or convertible. The 1967 production had 4 models: the Camaro, the Camaro RS, the Camaro SS and the Camaro Z-28. This adventure continued with a succession of a second, third and fourth generation built here at home in Boisbriand. Here are some 50 years of history depicted in video, and some key stages of the life of the Camaro.
