Cranswick on Camaro 1967-81

Chevrolet was Number One in the sales race. If you needed a car, chances are Chevrolet made it. However, in 1964 there arose a problem. Some guy at Ford came up with a car called the Mustang, maybe you&;ve heard of it? But don&;t worry, Chevrolet had a solution called the Camaro. In racing, where you are on lap one isn&;t nearly as important as your position when the checkered flag falls. By 1981, Camaro was so far in front of Mustang, Henry needed binoculars to see the Z28&;s taillights! Camaro was part of the speed shop scene, modified by the most famous names of the muscle car era. In racing, Chevrolet&;s pony left no stone unturned, inside and outside America. With the fuel crisis, insurance, and inflation, America sought a new kind of coupe. The Bowtie boys even outsold Mustang, with that Z28 having the upper hand in the Chevrolet versus Ford rivalry. Chevrolet&;s dedicated coupe even outfoxed Ford&;s sedan based Mustang. If the Corvette is the King of American Sportscars, then &;The Hugger&; must be the Prince of Ponies!
