The Camaro was first shown at a press preview in Detroit on September 12, 1966, and later in Los Angeles, on September 19, 1966. The public introduction of the new model was on September 26, 1966. The Camaro officially went on sale in dealerships on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year.
We couldn’t have thought of a more brilliant way for an auto manufacturer to introduce a new model. We’re also impressed by how Chevy managed to effortlessly advertise two different models on one page. The Camaro’s debut couldn’t have been more perfect.
Here’s another 1967 ad, introducing the Camaro SS 350. The copy is just as alluring as the title and the pictures, and it succeeded in making us want to go out and buy a ’67 SS 350. Anybody selling one?
Oh, the burn! This ad has some merit to it because the 1969 Camaro beat all of the other muscle cars that year when it won the Car and Driver readers’ choice award. Take that, competitors!
This has to be some of the most brilliant copy we’ve ever seen in an ad. Go ahead and read it. You won’t regret it.
This ad – with its witty title that probably wouldn’t today – just screams “1970” and we love it. The artist clearly put a lot of effort into all the drawings. We’re pretty sure this ad alone put the Camaro’s competition on edge.
