Anyone see it? Ill look for it on there website. It looked awesome! The rear could use a little work on a profile shot, but the whole shape and design of the car looks great, and guess what! THEY DIDNT HAVE TO MAKE A RETROMOBILE TO DO IT!! NOVEL IDEA EH?
Noticed that PHR implied that the Camaro is a "kids car" in the article, which is a key reason it died. Interesting. Kind of expect that from C&D, not PHR. BUt I suppose the truth is the truth no matter where you read it.
On another note, I understand GM made an agreement with CAW, when St. Therese was closed, that the Camaro/Firebord would never be built anyplace else, thus they'll probably never be built again. What kind of horse$hit is that? We can no longer use a legendary American nameplate because of an agreement made with a Canadain union???!!! St. Therese was not the only F-body assembler. The cars were made in Van Nuys, Calif. for years. The CAW does not own name or assembly rights to these cars. I think this is a poor excuse used by Lutz because he, in fact, does not want the cars to return. Who has the scoop on this fairly credible rumor? [/b][/quote]
the camaro and firebird thing and the CAW is true from as much info as I have.
And as of 1993, the only factory making fbodies was the Ste.T plant. Norwood was first(where my car was made!), then they opened up the Van Nuys, Cali plant late in 67 I belive. Norwood shut down in 87, and Van picked up the rest of the production. I belive that the Ste.T plant at the time was one of the best factories in GM's line up.
I dont wana turn this into a camaro debate, but im finding it hard to belive that the Mustang wasnt a "kids" car too. I see more kids in mustangs then I do 50 year old guys. I say the mustang is more of a kids car then the Camaro.
