1967 Chevy Camaro
Even before Ford launched the Mustang in 1964, executives at
General Motors knew they'd need a stouter two-door sports car than the Corvair.
The idea percolated inside the company under the code name XP-836; it was often
known as the Panther, and at least one mockup carried the name Chaparral,
borrowed from Chevy's successful Trans-Am racers. The name had been revealed in
June of 1966, and with a slow rollout to build anticipation, Chevy put the
Camaro — a name derived from an obscure French-English dictionary that
supposedly meant "friend" — on sale on this date in 1966. That first
generation offered a choice of eight engine setups, including the stonking 427
V-8, and three trim levels, with the Z/28 edition coming a year later. It's one
of the most classically perfect designs GM has ever produced, and has lost none
of its power in the nearly five decades since its launch. Here's the first ad
for the Camaro, something that hasn't worn as well:
