(Photos from the BangShift Archive) –It is impossible to attend any event where old cars are allowed in and leave without seeing a Chevrolet Camaro. From the first to the current fifth generation, the Camaro has been an icon of American performance. Over the years they have, like every other long standing line of car morphed and changed. They went from the smallish taught cars that debuted in 1967 to the larger and heavier second generation models, into the 1980s with the angular third gens, through the 1990s with the fourth gen and then there was the layoff before the current large and in-charge 5th gens showed up. This gallery is a quick collection of 20 photos featuring mostly first generation Camaros with a couple of second gens thrown in for good measure.

There are drag race photos, including a slick funny car, show photos, and even a couple of Drag Week snaps as well. If you are a Camaro fan, these are 20 photos you’ll want to see!
