A Brief History of the Camaro and how ACS can reshape the future of Your Car
The Chevrolet Camaro is much more than a car, it was born from passion and driven by technology. It's recognizable silhouette as evolved over the decades, yet it is always recognizable as a Camaro.

This fine illustration is a perfect example, beautifully and simply showing how the Camaro has constantly reinvented itself as the paragon of sleek, modern and sporty engineering over its lifespan. Since the car's introduction, as the infographic aptly shows the Camaro has spawned no fewer than six generations, a great number of refreshed exteriors and a variety of engines configurations.
The origins of the very word ‘Camaro’ is full of intrigue. A glance through history unveils claims that the word is derived from the French word ‘camarade’, which translates to ‘friend’, ‘buddy’ or ‘comrade.’ The former General Manager of Chevrolet, Peter Estes is quoted as saying that the name was born of the desire to hint at the “camaraderie of good friends, as a personal car should be to its owner.”
The car that ACS have taken under their wing and pledged to personalize is the 2010 Camaro, which was very much designed to bring the verve and spirit of the ‘69 version into the future. Let’s look at them and we can see the influence for our own eyes.
