Camaro at the All GM Car Show

 

In the mid 1960s, General Motors desperately needed a car to go up against the Ford Mustang. The Mustang surprised everyone, even the executives at Ford, at how well it sold. In fact, it helped define a new market of affordable, fun, low-cost cars aimed at a younger crowd. While Pontiac was also thrust into the fray, it was Chevrolet that, for the 1967 model year, went toe to toe when they introduced the Camaro. The 4th All GM Car Show, held at the headquarters of Wyler Automotive, saw plenty of Chevy's pony cars on display. Here are just a few of them.

Chevy Trucks Rolled Out for the All GM Show

 

The 4th All GM Car Show saw a nice selection of Chevrolet trucks from different eras among the over 175 vehicles that were on hand. Here are just a few of them.

Pontiac Showed Up for the All GM Car Show

 

Pontiac is one of the General Motors brands that was shuttered 16 years ago in order for GM to streamline. The marque, which seemingly invented the muscle car, was extremely popular through the mid-20th century, changing its image from that of a stodgy family car to a performance brand. But sales had waned and production ceased. That hasn't stopped enthusiasts from collecting and showing off the cars. There were quite a few Pontiac cars at the 4th Annual All GM Car Show recently. Among them was a Trans Am, a 1968 GTO, a 1970 Trans Am, a 1968 Firebird convertible, a 1965 GTO, a 1970 Trans Am, a 1965 Grand Prix, and another Trans Am.

Plenty of Chevrolet Automobiles at the All GM Car Show

 

The 4th annual All GM Car Show held at the headquarters of Wyler Automotive saw over 175 automobiles roll out on a beautiful late spring day. Obviously, there were plenty of Chevrolets on hand. Among those was a 1968 Malibu Super Sport, a Corvair, a 1972 Monte Carlo, a 1971 Nova, a Biscayne, a tricked out low rider Monte Carlo, a 1946 Business Coupe, and another Corvair.

The 4th All GM Car Show

 

The fourth 20th Century All GM Car Show was held under beautiful blue skies recently at the headquarters of Wyler Automotive. Sponsored by the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky Oldsmobile Club and the Southern Ohio Rockets, the event brought in over175 cars that were either GM brands or powered by a GM engine. The other caveat was that they all had to be from 1999 or before. Since it was sponsored by a couple of Olds clubs, that's where we'll start. There were a number of Cutlass and, especially 442 cars on display. Here are just a few.
