Camaro pictures are always best served with ladies in the photos. Whether it be intentional or unintentional :lol::lmao:

Haha..The black "69" with the blonde is a 4th gen i think. Look at that windshield, mirrors and the bottom of the door.

I thought the same thing first glance. Looked like one I saw on YouTube. I like how some of these have a planned model type lady and the others are just random whoever is in the shot is in the shot lol

And there was never a '69 Z28 convertible. Once I saw that, the rest wasn't worth looking at, in my opinion.

Ok, I went back in and decided to look. In typical fashion, the 1st gens get a lot of attention there, as do the '73 and older 2nd gens. Out of 40 pictures, 12 are pre '73. I thought this would be something of the evolution of the car over the years that showed a side profile with the slight body changes that made up the different years. Oh well.

This is so true. Always so much attention on the oldest Camaros, particularly the first gen. Too much attention. I appreciate the first gen, after all it's what started it all. But at least for me, if you subtract the nostalgia, it's the most ordinary looking Camaro and a lot of times just looks old. That isn't to say that I don't like it. There's some elements of the style that still stand out. The first Z-28s front end is still a classic. I just get sick of seeing so much of them.

The late 2nd gen Camaros, IMO, don't get near enough attention. 2nd gen Firebirds, even though as usual they were outsold by a wide margin, got more attention then and now then the Camaros. Probably because of the Burt Reynolds/Smokey and the Bandit connection. And at that time, I did prefer the Firebirds as I usually have. But looking back now, those were some great-looking Camaros.
