1969 to 1970 Camaro Question

[Rfish]

Firebird suffered the same. Combine Camaro & Firebird and sales weren’t bad considering. While ‘70 suffered from short production year there were allot of other factors. Radical design, 1st model year, higher price, fuel and insurance costs, cost of living and soon to come emission changes allot of suffering was inevitable. Allot of people already spent their money on the popular ‘69 models during the longer production run so may not have been willing to jump to new purchase.. Another issue was popularity of other models. Cutlass was one of the most popular models and it numbers did not see the same declines start of ‘70’s.
