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. Thumbs Up    Granted, the 68-70 Camaros are nice, but how can they say they are better than America's best sports car??  Angry

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!
