What year was the first Chevrolet Camaro made?

My sister and I are huge fans of the Chevy Camaro, and we were wondering when it was first made. Can you help?

Chevrolet’s
first model year for the
Camaro
was 1966.
In its first model year, Chevrolet sought to “blanket” the market with a Camaro that could fit any budget or desire, with options from entry-level six-cylinders to high-performance V8s. Buyers had their choice among eight different engines and five different transmissions. Among the many additional options, drivers could choose from were three main packages:
  • The
    RS
    Appearance Package, which featured hidden headlights, backup lights, and bright trim.
  • The
    SS
    Performance Package that upgraded the engine from the base straight six to a 5.7L or 6.5L V8
  • The
    Z/28
    Performance Package, which added further modifications to the SS Package to compete in the SCCA Trans-Am Series.
Since 1966, Chevy has continued to offer a variety of options, features, and trims for their Camaro. The 2022 model year features a choice of seven trims that, like the first-generation Camaro, offer drivers a choice among entry-level V6s and heart-pounding V8s.
