Happy Birthday, Chevy Camaro... 50 Looks Great On You

The Camaro, first debuting in September of 1966 as a rival to Ford’s Mustang, is celebrating its 50th birthday this year! Though it took a break towards the beginning of the 21st century, the Camaro has been going strong, now in its sixth generation, and Chevrolet plans to celebrate accordingly.

This August, multiple public events are planned for the Camaro during the Woodward Dream Cruise, a huge classic car event taking place annually in Metropolitan Detroit. From tours of the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant, where the Camaro is built, to a “Camaros and Coffee” event at the Joe Louis Arena Riverfront parking lot, every true Camaro fanatic will be in attendance. The official day of the Dream Cruise, Chevy will have a special heritage collection of the Camaro on display, where the new 2017 ZL1 and 1LE models will be available to view, as well.

Speaking of the 2017 model, this supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine with an estimated 640-hp and 10-speed automatic transmission will be headed our way this fall...and we’re excited. 


In addition to this, Chevrolet is taking the celebration even further with a 2017 Special Edition Camaro. This will be available on coupes and convertibles with the 2SS or 2LT trims. Each vehicle will come in Nightfall Gray Metallic and advertise the 50th Anniversary logo throughout.
