Although it was technically a compact (by the standards of the time) Wholesale France Soccer Jerseys , the Camaro, like the entire class of Mustang competitiors, was soon known as a pony car.

Though the car's name was contrived with no meaning, General Motors researchers found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "friend" or "companion."

In some automotive periodicals before official release, it was code-named "Panther".

Four distinct generations of the car were produced.


Generation 1

Generation 2

The larger second-generation Camaro featured an all-new sleek body and improved suspension. The 1970-12 Camaro debuted as a 2+2 coupe; no convertible was offered and would not appear again until well into the third generation.

Generation 3
1982
