The 60's Chevy Camaro Commercial. Its the FIRST ever Camaro Commercial. Imagine How Awesome It was back in those days. Thats nothing compared to the Brand new one from Transformers.
I was around back then. I remember this commercial, and it was a blockbuster as far as commercials went at the time. Most 60's commercials aren't this elaborate. This commercial is like a Charleton Heston movie! Put it together with the Camaro itself, which was powerful, good looking, and fairly inexpensive, made it the hit it still is today.
Cool commercial, my dad still has his 1967 camaro, I remember him taking me to kindergarden in it, it was a plain jane six cylinder car back then, it has since been resotred and now has the big car engine,lol. Its awsome.
I love the first generation camaros especially the 1969 with the more aggressive look. Only 3 years with that body style. Too bad the beautiful card debut at the end of the sixty's era.
I bought a new '69 SS w/396 in it when I got out of the service.. it wasn't the fastest car on the road, I didn't win all the time .. just gave Mustangs and Road Runners a fit trying to catch me. I got married 2 years later.. and when my first son came.. I had to decide to pay for the car or pay the hospital bills.. My son won.. I don't regret the decision but damn I still miss that car!
when I was 19 I got a "67 Camaro, granada gold with wide black stripes. I put chrome wheels on it. ..wish I still had it. I bought a new '74 because I wanted air conditioning.. (The '69 was really imposing, too!)
Those were the days when you could actually order your car at the dealer. There were hundreds of option variations and at least a dozen standard exterior colors. Today's cars maybe come in 2-3 variations w/6 or so exteriors colors and that's it. American cars then were unique and interesting to look at compared to today's plastic boxes.
Actually this is NOT the first ever Camaro commercial ever produced. I very distinctly remember seeing the commercial in which the Camaro was introduced to the public...the car was covered and a cowboy with a bullwhip kept knocking away pieces of the cover until the car was completely exposed. It was a very memorable commercial and I remember thinking at the time that the Camaro was the best looking car to come out of Detroit.
Damn that car is fucking legend, no fucking Supra, Audi, BMW, Nissan or Honda can match that. Its fucking legend of muscle car history, also know as; "Camaro- the small animal that eats Mustangs"
Chevrolet corrected styling issues w/the 1969They made the car more aggressive and sales improved dramatically. The 1969 was intended to be a two year run but the new body style for 1970 was ready ahead of schedule. There were actually mock-ups of the 1969 but w/1970plates and small styling changes. The 1969 Camaro is the favorite of muscle/classic car collectors and by far more valuable than the 1967-68 models even if one prefers the first two year's styling.
@Coolkid89383 what was the 310 hp engine then? LS2? What power output was the LS1? You can't compare the Corvette to the Shelby. The Corvette is a two seater sports car while the Shelby is a Muscle car. A fair match up would be the Corvette and the FORD GT.
That's what I thought too but I did a little research and they where in the '67's. I don't know always thought the 350 turbo fire was introduced in '69 as well.
that car was made 5 mins from my house at the norwood assembly plant a enclave of cincinnati my father work at Norwood 1956 to Aug 1987 when the plant was closed after spending 350 millon in updates in 81 to build the 82 six months later roger smith said norwood would be building Chevrolet products for another 60 years at less in 5 years they closed it. now you know why G.M. WENT UP IN SMOKE. the birthplace of the camaro.
fuck! with an add like this makes u buying a mustang in those days like an old guy DUDE!!!! im going to my chevy dealer to get that car NOW!!! no not the the all new one THAT ONE!!!!!!
Looks like the commercial was made by the producers of Star Trek. You would expect Captain Kirk and the landing party to appear from behind the rocks and sparks to check it out.
Ford: Keeping auto repair shops in business since 1903...bless the Camaro. Gonna get me the 2012 Camaro SS (Z28 too much HP for me, V6 too little) which will also have a much-needed upgrade of an interior in which GM claims.
@CubsFan2812 I know an adult can fit, I've fit before, but tell me this would you be more comfortable in the backseat of a Camaro or a Cadillac? And also, I think the 5th Gen Camaros are the roomiest yet, try fitting COMFORTABLY in an older Camaro.
My family owned the 250 ci 6 cyl version of this volcanic wonder. 2 speed powerglide transmission. It got 20 MPG! During the price war between Sunoco and Esso gas. You could get Sunoco grade 190 for 19.9 cents a gallon! That's a lot of cheap driving kids. The only thing that broke on the car (excepting normal wear items like brakes) in 120K miles was the mechanical voltage regulator, distibutor, and water pump. All very cheap to fix. Then the car rusted out in typical GM fashion.
I just wish, gm wouldn't have killed Pontiac, & Build The Fire Bird / Trans Am. That would've been awsome! Y'all have a Good One & Try to keep it between the ditches / Snow Drifts!

I want one! I can't wait till they come out!
We all know the camaro is superior to the mustang.

When GM decided to put together a car to compete with Fords pony car , they did it right ...67-69 Camaros are just a sweet looking ride !
The car just looks so damn good here. Makes me crave that blacked out SS grill and 4-speed.
The two people that dislike this video drive Mustangs...
The sales pitch makes me wanna buy the car now
The announcer makes me think of epic meal time, and the car makes me wish they still made cars like that.
Truly miss all 3 of my 1st generation Camaros
fucking lucky
I rather have this camaro than a new one from 2016
Maybe from a collectors standpoint I would agree but that new ZL-1 is a SICK machine my friend
Then go get one! All talk and no walk!
Happy Birthday Camaro
I'll have ten!
Just as long as they're made in a factory, I have an allergy to hopping in cars made out of lava...
Cool commercial, my dad still has his 1967 camaro, I remember him taking me to kindergarden in it, it was a plain jane six cylinder car back then, it has since been resotred and now has the big car engine,lol. Its awsome.
Pure insanity! I love it.
Ive always wanted a Camaro since I first saw it and after seeing this ad, I CRAVE it even more...
Back seat up... Back seat down! lol

Great commercial! That was such an awesome car! I like the SS 396 with a 4 speed the most though. But that 350 still had some nice power though.
@296jayce Camaro debuted in Sept. of 1966. When it was first being developed, they had it slated to be named Panther, but then changed it to Camaro.
when I was 19 I got a "67 Camaro, granada gold with wide black stripes. I put chrome wheels on it. ..wish I still had it. I bought a new '74 because I wanted air conditioning.. (The '69 was really imposing, too!)
The 1967 Camaro ROCKS!!! The 2009 model should be just as sweet!

I love how it drives itself
Yea but I think I spend more time looking up old commercials than I do watching new ones on TV. lol so at least they're good xD

Back seat up!,we ran out of gas!,Backseat down!, Head in lap! BIG CAR ENGINE BIG BOY PANTS!
Holy crap, I was waiting for Captain James T. friggin Kirk to beam down and drive that Maro out of there. Pure mid sixties madness.....

how if i saw this back in thos times i would have bought its right away lol
So far the 1 gen Camaro are where the resale is. Would you rather sink 50K into a 5th gen or have a 50K classic?
I will take the classic any day.
Oh my god, HIDEAWAY HEADLIGHTS? GOTTA GET ME ONE!
that's the longest commercial i've ever seen in my life
At your chevrolet dealer now....I WISH

Yes, yes they did. Challengers and Camaros are bring it back, hopefully. We shall find out soon enough, now won't we.
@handonrip my DAD bought one in May of 1969................I turned 16 in 1968 and was in 7th Heaven when he let me drive it to McDonalds!!!
That's what I thought too but I did a little research and they where in the '67's. I don't know always thought the 350 turbo fire was introduced in '69 as well.
"Back seat up! Back seat down!"
I HAVE THIS CAR!!!! HA HA HA!!! thanks for posting!!

@jCarqusetd I can't remember his name, but he did the Chevy commercial voice overs for quite a few years, staring in the early 60's.
Man, they don't make em like that any more.
Bumblebee : Danger! the Volcano!
Was that a electronic swtich that put the backseat down?
Shure , the Camaro was volcano-birth, dont you see that !
This is the real Camaro -
when do these come out?
Looks like the commercial was made by the producers of Star Trek. You would expect Captain Kirk and the landing party to appear from behind the rocks and sparks to check it out.

I wonder how much it cost to air a 2 minute commercial back then...
Its just all SOOOO COOL!!!!!!!!
This one seems to be sitting a bit high on its springs?
@MaximusRelaximus It wasn't cheesy at the time it came out. They knew how to market to their potential clients.
I watched this commercial though I not only do not own a Camaro I keep my truck much much longer.
thanks for sharing! very interesting!
LOVE IT lmao
makes me think if i buy that im the muh fuggin batman
@CubsFan2812 I know an adult can fit, I've fit before, but tell me this would you be more comfortable in the backseat of a Camaro or a Cadillac? And also, I think the 5th Gen Camaros are the roomiest yet, try fitting COMFORTABLY in an older Camaro.
wish we had them in Ireland aint seen any over here
Is 1969 VIN#0001 around??? Please find it!
Cool!!!! Now this was back when they acutally built a real car and not the cheap plastic things they make today!!!!
Camaro! loaded with saftey features! Camaro! bulky body to surround the 350 engine! Camaro!!...Camaro!!
my heaadd.!!
shock & awe
"LIKE A KNOCK.......errrrrrr.........ROCK!"
@tutternbubba bumblebee form 1 was a 76/77 camaro.
they left the cameraman in the volcano
jesus christ you can tell this was made before the 30 second commercial rule
@tutternbubba well there was but it was a prototype, they didnt start selling it until 2010.
My family owned the 250 ci 6 cyl version of this volcanic wonder.
2 speed powerglide transmission.
It got 20 MPG!
During the price war between Sunoco and Esso gas. You could get Sunoco grade 190 for 19.9 cents a gallon! That's a lot of cheap driving kids.

wut year is this, like wut year did gm put out the camaro's?
my sig on g-faqs is close to that:"camaro: a small vicious animal that eats mustangs"
if only they did something like that for the 1970 aar cuda
I Want One!
wow, thats when u could get a camaro. for a new one with a v8 they want like 50 and theres no way a camaro should ever be that much
@390merc65 does it even matter who sold what lets see the mustang was out longer than the camaro so of course it will get more sells.
When American cars were No. 1 in the World! This used to be a hell of a good country!
@brennen182 )
Dude. I used to race corvetts, with my MustangII Cobra & Win!
That was the80's. & on I-5 around Seattle.
GOD I LOVE FBODYS!.
i dont think i can handle those headlights
wow , I always thought the 350 started in '69
Active volcano + Camaro = extensive restoration work =(
Back seat up! Back seat down!
haha.
@corvetteracer916 oh ok, thanx, and do u think that ford is better than chevy?
Car ads were so much better in the old days.
1967 ad. GM spent alot of money on this ad and it shows.
love it!... wtf does he say at 1:50
I just wish, gm wouldn't have killed Pontiac, & Build The Fire Bird / Trans Am.
That would've been awsome!
Y'all have a Good One & Try to
keep it between the ditches / Snow Drifts!
I wish they where still like tht but the new ones look like tht just bigger and a little different design
@TheChevelleSS396 NO LIE ON THAT!!!
@lasuvidaboy The only features I seen for new cars are with plasti chrome or plasti carbonfiber.
new safety feature introduced steel that way your shit dont break
Why can't all car commercials be like this?
because all cars aren't camaro
Now that's how you sell a car!

the beginning of the end for junkstangs
i got a 1994 z28 chev in my garage waiting for me
