Chevrolet fans choose �69 Camaro as the brand�s best

DETROIT -- Chevrolet fans have spoken: The greatest Chevy ever was the 1969 Camaro.

That was the winner from votes cast by 124,368 people in a four-round, bracket-style tournament. The �69 Camaro got 25,058 votes, edging the 1970 Chevelle SS in the final round, General Motors said in a statement today.

Other vehicles that went deep in the tournament were the 1957 Bel Air and the 1953 Corvette. General Motors ran the contest to coincide with Chevrolet�s 100th anniversary next month.

Tom Peters, Chevrolet design director, said the �69 Camaro represents �timeless design� and influenced styling for the fifth-generation Camaro, which was introduced in 2009.

I would have picked ANY Corvette. Granted, the 68-70 Camaros are nice, but how can they say they are better than America's best sports car??

Voting was via Facebook. I did post a link so you could have voted...

I only voted in the first and last rounds

This was not my top pick either

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!

I would have voted for a 79 Vette too Barry!! Between the Camaro and the Chevelle SS, I would have voted Chevelle all the way. Speaking of on line shows, how come we don't do them no more??
