GM's Chevrolet brand is celebrating its 100th anniversary, and as part of its celebrations it asked drivers to vote for the best Chevy of all time?
The answer was the 1969 Camaro. The Camaro edged out such famous models as the 1953 Corvette, the 1957 Bel Air and even the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray - to name a few.
By 1969 the Camaro was extremely popular and though this was the final year of the Camaro's original iconic design, it went out with flying colors.
The `69 Camaro paced the Indianapolis 500 for the second time. It was the first and only year the legendary aluminum ZL1 engine was offered, and the Z28 SS/RS performance package qualified the `69 Camaro to compete in the Trans-Am racing series.
It's still considered one of the hottest-looking rides of the classic muscle car era. It had a 290-horsepower rating but tested at close to 400. This four-wheeled icon has graced the silver screen many times.
In Almost Famous, a young William Miller watches his sister drive off with her boyfriend in a blue 1969 Camaro coupe. And a slightly earlier version stars as the famous black beauty in Better Off Dead.
