New Camaro commercial!

At first I questioned Chevy's aproach with this but they must be using a retro-styled commercial with their retro-styled car.

I miss seeing Chevrolet commercials featuring the Camaro.

It'll be great seeing them again.

Whoever put the video on Youtube musta been using a Betamax. That tracking was ouch!

Thanks for posting this though. My dad and I saw this original commercial and he went down to the dealer and ordered one. It was one of the best cars in that time.

I think the 80s "cokeheads" of advertising were responsible this spot though; buy one and "feel like a champion." That's just priceless.

I don't quite understand your statement. Are you thinking this is a recent Chevy commercial?

Sounded like the Budweiser commercial singer on the first commercial. Here's to you Mr. mullet wearing Iroc driving Camaro owner! I had an 82 and an 84' Z28. Went to prom in the 84'...oh the memories! The mullet didn't come til later though......probaly around the time of my 1995 Z28. My 2010 comes mullet free though!

Depending on Januarys IDL meeting outcome, I would put a small wager that there would be a Camaro commercial during the super bowl. Anyone wanna place odds? Chevy has always spent some money there.

they actually had one at the world series, so i can't imagine why they wouldn't at least have a commercial for the super bowl... but then again, it also depends on if they can get door & dash panels made now.
