In a poll of nearly 125 000 Chevrolet fans, the 1969 Camaro has been voted the "Best Chevy of All Time".
As part of Chevrolet's centennial celebration, Bowtie Brand enthusiasts were asked to vote for their favourite vehicle from Chevrolet's 100-year history - and the 1969 Camaro got 25 058 of the 124 368 votes cast, edging out the 1970 Chevelle SS.
Chevrolet design director Tom Peters believes the '69 Camaro is not only one of the best vehicles in Chevrolet's history but one of the best designs in US automotive history - although he's a little biased; he's owned the same 1969 Camaro for nearly 20 years.
Peters said: "I can vividly remember seeing one for the first time as a kid. Even a 14-year-old like me could see the Camaro's powerful personality and elegant, simple design.
"It was so cool because it had this great style, high performance, and yet was attainable for someone just getting out of school.
"Today, the '69 Camaro has become one of the best examples of timeless design in the industry," Peters said. "It's more than just a machine because it evokes powerful emotions in people of all ages."
