Camaro 50th Anniversary - pictures

The Camaro was launched in 1966 as a response to Ford's wildly successful Mustang.

For 1970, the Camaro grew in size and gained a new look.

As the 70's went on, the Camaro lost power and gained bulky bumpers to meet US emissions and crash test regulations.

The next Camaro's sharp-edged 80's styling couldn't mask underpowered engines.

The 1992 Camaro debuted sleeker styling and more powerful engines, but still had a live rear axle which hampered the handling.
