Cranswick on Camaro 1967-81 Summary

Cranswick on Camaro 1967-81 by Marc Cranswick

Chevrolet was Number One in the sales race. If you needed a car, chances are Chevrolet made it. However, in 1964 there arose a problem. Some guy at Ford came up with a car called the Mustang, maybe you've heard of it? But don't worry, Chevrolet had a solution called the Camaro. In racing, where you are on lap one, isn't nearly as important as your position when the checkered flag falls. By 1981, Camaro was so far in front of Mustang, Henry needed binoculars to see the Z28's taillights! Camaro was part of the speed shop scene, modified by the most famous names of the muscle car era. In racing, Chevrolet's pony left no stone unturned, inside and outside America. With the fuel crisis, insurance, and inflation, America sought a new kind of coupe. The Bowtie boys even outsold Mustang, with that Z28 having the upper hand in the Chevrolet versus Ford rivalry. Chevrolet's dedicated coupe even outfoxed Ford's sedan based Mustang. If the Corvette is the King of American Sportscars, then 'The Hugger' must be the Prince of Ponies!

Cranswick on Camaro 1967-81 Reviews

a well priced book, with a lot of detail - www.silhouet.com --- there's plenty for fans of American muscle to like - Auto Express --- This is an everything-you-need-to-know sort of book on the first two generations of the Chevrolet Camaro ... Marc Cranswick bursts with knowledge ... A 184-page hard (if quite large print) with plenty of colour photography, it justifies its price. - Classic Car Weekly --- Packed with information, this book should appeal to dyed-in-the-wool Camaro enthusiasts - Classic Driver --- A fascinating snapshot - and nothing you'd get in a GM-authorised official history of the car. - Classic Cars --- a worthy reference book - Octane (UK)
