The Camaro Celebrates 50 Years

This year, the Chevrolet Camaro is celebrating its birthday...and we must say, 50 has never looked better. Since making its debut in 1966, the Camaro has been going strong ever since (we’ll forget about the short break it took in the early parts of the 21st century) and is now entering its sixth generation. Chevrolet plans to celebrate the right way this fall with a few activities and, you guessed it- a 50th Anniversary Special Edition model.

This August, the 2016 Woodward Dream Cruise will be taking place and Chevrolet has many plans for the Camaro. To kick off the celebration, tours of the Lansing Grand River Assembly Plant-where the Camaro is built- will be offered to ticketholders. The “Camaros and Coffee” event will take place the following day at the Joe Louis Arena Riverfront parking lot and on the official day of the event, Chevy will have a special heritage collection of the Camaro on display.

This display will include a viewing of the new 2017 Camaro ZL1, which features a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine with 640 horsepower and 10-speed automatic transmission. The 1LE will also be on display.

In addition to all of this, Chevrolet is also planning to release a 50th Anniversary Special Edition Camaro- which will be available on couples and convertibles with the 2SS or 2LT trims. Available in Nightfall Gray Metallic, each vehicle will promote the car’s birthday with 50th Anniversary logos and badges throughout.
