I realized how beautiful the lines were even as a tike. In 1965 we got a Detroit Motorific Slot Car Track for Xmas and my parents bought me and extra car that was the 57 Chevy because they new it was one of my favorites. When 67 Camaros came out I took a look and thought these are interesting as the Mustang had already been out and I saw the first ones on display at the 64-65 New York Worlds fair when I was a kid before they even hit the dealerships, it was a red coupe. It was ok but I wasn't a real fan until I saw the fast back ones. Now remember in those day all boys were a bit car crazy in elementary school, we would sneak hot rod magazines into class and read them instead of studying and the mag would sort of get passed around like a Hustler magazine. In 1969 a school chums older brother got a brand new 69 Camaro either an SS or maybe a Z/28 but it was white with orange racing stripes with a stick and I remember him burning rubber up the street. The Gen 1's were my favorite and I thought the Gen 2 was a step back in looks when they came out in 1970. Then soon they began to grow on me quickly. And then it became a back and forth favorite of Gen1 vs. Gen2. In high school a guy had a 70 Z/28 sort of a metallic green with black stripes and yes it was badass. Gen 2 kept that style until I thin 74 when they change to that ugly backward slant front headlamps thats when I started losing interest in Camaros. My brothers friend bought a brand new 74 right after H.S. By that time power had decreased. I had a 69 383 Road Runner at that time and I could easily blow his doors off. Pretty much since 74 thru 2002 I was no longer impressed. But when they came out in 2010 I said this is more like it and bought a 2011 as my DD until I got my 2017. Sure the oldies were quick but limited due to the technologies then. They were fun too but of course can't touch SS's today. And yeh our Rev matches for us that still drive a stick is a kick azz feature.

Must be what he saw...
