The Chevrolet Camaro is a legend in automotive circles. It is a car that was removed from production for several years then returned triumphantly to the global stage. For some enthusiasts, the Camaro classics are the best; for others, the modern variations carry on the theme but are updated and more readily accessible.
The Origins
The Camaro had one major purpose when it previewed in 1966 at a live press conference in the Statler-Hilton Hotel in Detroit MI. It was to provide serious competition for the highly touted Ford Mustang. The Chevrolet Camaro in Wichita KS was to be a sports car with impressive power and sleek lines. Initially, it provided Super Sport and Rally Sport models to dealerships in cities as disparate as Wickenburg AZ and Wichita KS.
Longevity
The Camaro continued to be manufactured into the fourth generation. During this time, cosmetic changes were made, the high-performance Z/28 models roared along the roads and the Chevrolet offered fuel injection engines. The speed and style remained essentially unabated until production was halted in 2002. This marked a fallow period. For seven years, the Camaro was available only as a used vehicle.
Phoenix Reborn
Yet, the Chevrolet Camaro in Wichita KS had not disappeared forever. The company began working on the new version as early as 2006. In 2009, it was revived. The redesigned automobile released that year was the fifth generation. This morphed into the sixth generation introduced in 2016. Its 2021 updates included Wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. With the ongoing positive market response, the Camaro has not looked back since.
