This is true. I too had an extreme interest in cars as early as 7 years old. Just to show off in front of my brothers, I would always call off the make of a car approaching before they could. Matter of fact, sheesh!, that was before there was a freeway here!!
As a sophmore in high school,1967, I had my sites on the 1969 Mustang! Then 1968 came and the movie Bullet. After that my dad crushed my dream of a fast car.
Parents would not allow me a car until I graduated. An incentive to stay in school I guess. But in September 1966 a photographer from some car magazine snapped a picture of a new kind of Chevy being tested. Then Chevrolet was considering the name of this new design.
Two names made the top of the list. The Panther, or the Camero. Well we all know which one made the cut.
