If you’ve been to a cruise-in or car show lately, you know that muscle cars are all the rage. High performance road cars from the late 1960s and early 1970s are also the inspiration for some of Detroit’s hottest new designs such as the Ford Mustang, Dodge Charger and the star of the current auto show circuit, Chevrolet’s 2009 Camaro Concept car.
Out of production since 2002, General Motors plans to revive the Camaro, one of its most successful nameplates, as its entry into the modern muscle car wars. “The Camaro Six-Pack” at the Antique Auto Museum traces the evolution of this popular pony car. It features five stock vehicles from the General Motors Heritage Collection and a Camaro “Funny Car” dragster raced by local drag racing legend, Bruce Larson. Bruce Larson's car is on display through April 17th and the General Motors Cars until April 28th.
