Product Description:

On the eve of the introduction of the first Camaro of the twenty-first century, this big book chronicles the rich history of an American muscle-car era icon. Here, accompanied by fabulous photographs of the models that made history, is the full story of Camaro’s forty years. Beginning with Chevrolet's race in the Sixties to capture the emerging youth market, the book follows Chevrolet’s efforts to come up with a car that could out-muscle the Mustang.

The Camaro was that car, and in the years after its introduction in 1967, it set some of the most important performance marks in American automotive history. The classics of the muscle-car era are here--the RS, SS, Z/28, and IROC-Z--along with the models that jumpstarted a new era of American performance in the 1980s. In flashing color and fine detail, Camaro Forty Years captures the innovations and fierce competition, the changes in style and technology that make the story of this legendary car a part of the American automotive story--now opening a new chapter.

pony cars???
Reviewer: M. Weeks (MO USA), Date of review: February 20, 2009

After reading the first section of this book, I still don't know what pony cars means. However, I am rating this book with five stars, not for myself, but for my husband. He already knows what pony cars are!

The book was a gift, and he was captivated by it. I have bought him others in the past. He never felt they had enough history and information in them. Or he has been disappointed in the pictures. This time, he liked both.

The book is big and bulky. It would take up quite a bit of room on the old coffee table. However, it has some nice centerfolds, and some real crisp pictures. In addition, there's some great history, including past managers, presidents, etc. that really influenced the car as it "grew" up.

If you are a muscle era pearson like I am and use reference books from the time of 1964 to 1971 or so you will enjoy this book on Camaro's. Also their are the same type of books on Corvettes, Mopar, Ford Mustangs and others to add to your collection. All can be purchased at Amazon at a reasonable price.All are four stars.
