newVideoPlayer("/89_Camaro_494.flv", 506, 423,""); Why did the Berlin Wall go crashing down in 1989? Some might try to confuse you with all sorts of economic or political gibberish, but the answer is actually real simple : the third-generation Camaro destroyed the Evil Empire's will to live! Look at the triumphant American Camaro owners in this ad- with 230 horsepower (that is, for those who bought the IROC; the base V6 had 130 horses) at their command, victory was theirs!

newVideoPlayer("/83_Camaro_476.flv", 506, 423,""); Whether you were grabbing a gear with the 190-horse IROC- oh, wait, you couldn't get the manual transmission with the Tuned Port Injection 305- or experiencing the joys of leaky rubber seals with your Berlinetta's T-tops, the 1985 Camaro let you live it! The glitchy VHS recording just makes this ad that much more Eighties, we think.

newVideoPlayer("67_Camaro_SS350_476.flv", 506, 423,""); Chevrolet's Mustang fighter was a big deal when first unveiled, and The General figured they'd need to break out the big guns when it came to advertising the new '67 Camaro. Spare no expense! So, of course, they hired a crew of cut-rate special-effects technicians from the set of a made-for-TV monster movie and put together this fine advertisement. Make the jump to experience some more Cheepnis, courtesy of Mr. Zappa.

newVideoPlayer("84_Z28_Vidgame_476.flv", 463, 387,""); Zero to 55 in six seconds! Not only that, the Early Post-Malaise '84 Camaro had "remarkable" new handling, which apparently enabled the lysergically enhanced driver to hit hallucinated giant fungus spores emerging from the road shoulder. Was GM targeting 9-year-old video-game players with this ad?

Yes, the Z28 option was back for the Camaro in '77, and it was about time! With the optional 350 grunting out a Camry-like 170 horsepower and enough tape stripes to wrap Hoover Dam, this car was more than a match for the '77 Mustang Cobra II. But that doesn't matter- what does matter is the type of beer you'd pick up on the way to the drive-in with your new Z28... and whether you'd be envious of those who brought their dates in old Ramblers with fold-flat seats. Make the jump to take our 1977 Z28 Beer Poll! Pabst? Schlitz? Miller Lite? Miller High Life? Natural Light? Löwenbräu?

Frankly, we're puzzled by the drama played out in this ad for the '85 IROC-Z Camaro. There's a chiseled blonde helicopter cop obsessively following an equally chiseled, equally blonde IROC-Z driver, who scrupulously adheres to the 55MPH limit. Then they meet up in some sort of macho non-showdown in a methlab-esque desert town. Wait, are they the same man? Hey, don't worry about the plot- just listen to the heartbeat of America!

This ad for the '86 Camaro may be a contender for Most 80s Car Advertisement Ever, though of course GM raised that bar pretty high with their other F-body ads of the era. Hair Product! Pastel colors! Chlamydia! 305 small-blocks!
