| First generation |
September 29, 1966: General Motors announces the "newest" car in it's lineup for 1967, the Chevrolet Camaro. Ford had introduced the Mustang the year before, that car was selling in large volume and GM wanted to compete for market share. This started a chain reaction, which before it was over, also made for the creation of the Plymouth Barracuda ("I can't even say Back-a-ruda") and the American Motors Marlin. Dodge and Pontiac had their own versions of the Barracuda and Camaro. The age of the factory made hot rod were here.
Over the years improvements have been made, the horsepower has been lowered and fuel efficiency has improved, although a V8 engine is still available on the two remaining "Pony Cars", the Camaro and Mustang; there are no more Plymouths, Pontiacs or American Motors cars made anymore of any model, as they have joined the likes of Studebaker, Essex and Hudson (too bad).
