The summer of 1964 saw a massive revolution in the American automobile industry. That is when the 1965 Ford Mustang was released. The 'Stang was a sporty car aimed at the Baby Boomers who were coming of driving age. The Mustang was a massive success and the Pony car was born. While Plymouth had actually beaten Ford to the market by weeks with their Barracuda, the Mustang was the car making all the headlines. General Motors was caught flat footed and scrambled to find a car to compete. It took them until 1966 but they came out with their competition, the Chevrolet Camaro. The Camaro has proven a worthy rival. Now in its sixth generation the Camaro is still a top seller. There were plenty of these cars on hand for the 3th 20th Century All GM Show that spanned several generations. Here are some of them.
