1968 Chevrolet Camaro

1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible â?" 350 V8, Power Top, Ivory Interior Why This Car Is Special The 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS Convertible sits at an interesting crossroads in first-generation Camaro history. Chevrolet had launched the Camaro in September 1966 as a direct answer to the Ford Mustang, and by 1968 the car had hit its stride. The '68 model year brought refinements over the debut cars, including side marker lights added to meet new federal safety standards, and a revised hidden wiper setup that cleaned up the cowl area significantly. The result was a cleaner, more cohesive design that many collectors consider the sweet spot of the first generation. Decoding this car's VIN tells us something right away. The second and third characters â?" '24' â?" confirm this is a Camaro convertible, body style 67/68 style Sport Convertible.
