Background [edit]

Before whatever official proclamation, reports began running during April 1965 within the automotive press that Chevrolet was preparing a competitor to the Ford Mustang, lawmaking-named Panther.[8] On June 21, 1966, around 200 automotive journalists received a telegram from General Motors stating, "...please salve noon of June 28 for of import SEPAW coming together. Hope yous tin can be on mitt to help scratch a cat. Details will follow...(signed) John 50. Cutter – Chevrolet public relations – SEPAW secretary." The following day, the same journalists received another Full general Motors telegram stating, "Club for the Eradication of Panthers from the Automotive World will agree first and last meeting on June 28...(signed) John L. Cutter – Chevrolet public relations SEPAW secretary." These telegrams puzzled automotive journalists.[8]

On June 28, 1966, General Motors held a live press conference in Detroit's Statler-Hilton Hotel. It was the first time that 14 cities were connected in existent-time for a press briefing via telephone lines.[8] Chevrolet general manager Pete Estes started the news conference stating that all attendees of the conference were charter members of the Gild for the Emptying of Panthers from the Automotive World and that this would be the offset and terminal meeting of SEPAW. Estes and then appear a new car line, project designation XP-836, with a name that Chevrolet chose in keeping with other car names beginning with the letter C such as the Corvair, Chevelle, Chevy II, and Corvette. He claimed the proper noun, "suggests the comradeship of good friends every bit a personal car should be to its owner" and that "to us, the name means just what we think the machine volition practise... go." The Camaro proper name was then unveiled.[viii] Automotive press asked Chevrolet product managers, "what is a Camaro?" and were told it was "a small, vicious animate being that eats Mustangs,"[9] an obvious reference to the extremely successful Ford Mustang that created and dominated the Pony car market GM was entering.

According to the book The Consummate Book of Camaro: Every Model Since 1967, the name Camaro was conceived by Chevrolet merchandising manager Bob Lund and Full general Motors vice president Ed Rollett, while they were reading the book Heath's French and English Dictionary past James Boïelle and by de 5. Payen-Payne printed in 1936. In the book The Complete Book of Camaro, it states that Mr. Lund and Mr. Rollett found the word camaro in the French-English lexicon was slang, to mean "friend, pal, or comrade". The article further repeated Estes's statement of what the word camaro was meant to imply, that the automobile's proper noun "suggests the comradeship of good friends, as a personal car should be to its possessor".[10] The accepted French word with the closest meaning is "camarade," from which the English word "comrade" is derived.[11]

The Camaro was offset shown at a press preview in Detroit on September 12, 1966, and later on in Los Angeles, on September 19, 1966. Public introduction of the new model was on September 26, 1966.[12] The Camaro officially went on sale in dealerships on September 29, 1966, for the 1967 model year.[13]

Concerned with the runaway success of the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet executives realized that the sporty version of their compact rear-wheel drive Corvair, the Monza, would not be able to generate the sales volume of the Mustang due to limitations with that layout (including its disability to share the whole range of Chevrolet engines) and declining sales, partly due to the negative publicity from Ralph Nader'due south book, Unsafe at Whatever Speed.
