Five GM design employees take a look back at Camaros past and present, pointing out some highlights and analysis of where the Camaro has succeeded—and proved a challenge—from a design standpoint. Take a look and see what the designers had to say.

1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

First-generation Camaro design analysis by Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design.

"The Camaro should not have been a design success, as it was based on an existing architecture and admittedly hurried to market to address the personal coupe revolution occurring with Baby Boomer customers," said Ed Welburn, vice president of GM Global Design.

1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

Second-generation Camaro design analysis by Ken Parkinson, executive director of design, Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture.

1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28

Third-generation Camaro design analysis by John Cafaro, executive director, Chevrolet Global Car Design.

"Perhaps more than any other generation, the third-generation Camaro was a car of its time," said John Cafaro, executive director, Chevrolet Global Car Design. "You can see that influence in every detail of the car, from the aerodynamic details of the exterior, such as the ground effects on the Z28, to the introduction of digital instruments on the interior."

1996 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Fourth-generation Camaro design analysis by Kirk Bennion, Chevrolet Camaro exterior design manager.

It has a very sculptural form vocabulary that was definitely all-new for the Camaro." Kirk Bennion, Chevrolet Camaro exterior design manager.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS

Fifth-generation Camaro design analysis by Tom Peters, Chevrolet Camaro exterior design director.

"Distilling the timeless essence of the design and translating into a fresh, contemporary Camaro was a challenge, " said Tom Peters, Chevrolet Camaro exterior design director.
