What year was the first Chevrolet Camaro LS?

I’m doing some research on old Chevrolet Camaros, and I’m wondering—when was the first Chevrolet Camaro LS made?

The first
Chevrolet Camaro LS
was released in 1998 with an original MSRP of $22,790, and it was available as a coupe, convertible, or the Z28 SS. Nowadays, you can find a used ‘98 Camaro LS for $1,000 to $2,500.
The LS moniker usually denotes the base trim of the Camaro, but don’t let that fool you into thinking that a mere “base” Camaro isn’t fast—it’s damn fast! Equipped with a 305-horsepower V8 engine, the ‘98 Camaro LS was known for blazing acceleration and tight cornering grip, and it was available for a song compared to most other sports cars at the time.
The interior, while functional, wasn’t much to write home about, but it did have white leather upholstery across every trim.
The 1998 Camaro LS was a sight to behold—even the base version!
