Camaro History On Display Tomorrow Evening

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 70 copo</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> The early Pilots left the factory with no primary name emblems. The build at Norwood was called the &quot;F car&quot; only at that point. </div></div>

What did the emblems say then on the header panel and on the deck lid? I am talking about the pics posted that were in the original ebay auction that were supposed to be of this car when new. They clearly show emblems in those two locations.

Please post the pics you are making reference to so can elaborate...I want to be sure we are discussing the same images.

I addressed this point a ways back in the thread:

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 70 copo</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Jan,

That is a good observation. June 29 1966 was the official announcement date. The emblems for the header and the trunk easy to apply later. The fenders not so much. </div></div>


Now to expand on what I think the question is (Panther or Camaro?) I just watched the converted video of the pilots on display - and the header and the lid are both &quot;Chevrolet and camaro&quot; as you would expect for production.

Very neat, historical car. I believe it is what you say it is. I'm happy someone stepped up and restored it.
It certainly deserved it. I would not have left the weld seams like that but I respect the owners' right to
restore it as he saw fit. I have had to wrestle with certain decisions in the restoration of my own car.

The decision to do the restoration as was done was by intent in anticipation of all the howls of &quot;rebody&quot; that were sure to arise upon completion.

2200 photographs were taken during the restoration.
