Happy Birthday, XP-836

After 50 years, the camaro is still going strong.

It’s hard to believe it’s been 50 years since the first Chevrolet Camaros started rolling down the highway, but it’s true. Arguably the most popular Chevy nameplate has been with us—aside from a brief hiatus—for five decades! It’s hard to imagine what today’s Chevy scene would look like if GM had opted for the Super Nova instead of developing the XP-836 into the Camaro, but they didn’t and our reward is a car that’s still going strong all these years later.
