About 50 years ago, General Motors sent automotive journalists a telegram, asking them to "please save noon of June 28 for important SEPAW meeting. Hope you can be on hand to help scratch a cat." The puzzling message was issued for a live press conference that marked the introduction of the Chevrolet Camaro. When the automotive press asked what Camaro stands for, Chevrolet replied that it was "a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs." That’s how GM’s iconic competitor for the Ford Mustang was born, spawning a rivalry that would go on for more than four decades (the Camaro was discontinued between 2002 and 2010). Five decades have passed since the first-gen Camaro broke cover in Detroit, and Chevrolet is celebrating the special moment with an anniversary edition based on the new, sixth-generation pony.
Unveiled without much fuss on Chevrolet’s official website, the Camaro 50th Anniversary Edition is slated to arrive in dealerships in summer 2016 with a number of extra features compared to the standard model. It will be available in both coupe and convertible 2LT and 2SS models and stand out via special colors and stripes, unique badges, and customized interiors.
The Camaro 50th Anniversary Edition arrives nearly two years after its main rival, the Ford Mustang, received its very own half-century special package as the 50 Year Limited Edition. This special-edition Camaro will most likely make its public debut at the 2016 New York Auto Show on March 25th, so make sure you stick around for updates.
