Seasons Greetings from Scott............
"...The name Camaro..........means pal, friend, or comrade......Thus, it suggests the real mission of our new automobile........to be a close companion to its owner, tailored to reflect his or her individual tastes and at the same time provide exciting personal transportation.....Chevrolet has chosen a name which is lithe, and graceful, in keeping with our other names beginning with C. It suggests the comradeship of good friends............as a personal car should be to its owner...."
The quote above comes from Eliot M. (Pete) Estes -- then General Manager of Chevrolet Motor Division.......in remarks he made after announcing that Chevrolet would build a new car.......the Camaro. The announcement was made in June of 1966.
Now.....you may be wondering why I'd start a Holiday Letter with a quote from Mr. Estes..........and it's really simple when you think about it.
You...and everyone else on this forum.....are a Camaro/Firebird Enthusiast. Because of these cars, you've made friendships all over the continent. During the Holiday Season, it's time for friends and family to get together and celebrate.
Further, while many people have been exceedingly upset since the cars went on "hiatus' in August of 2002, there is every reason to believe that the future indeed looks bright.
After the first of January, I'll be sharing with you a web address where you can watch the festivities from Detroit as a very exciting new Coupe Concept is unveiled on the morning of January 9, 2006.
Perhaps this 'unveiling' is the Christmas Gift that many of you have been asking for!
As for the Holiday Season:
I know many of you will be travelling far and wide to be with family and friends. It goes without saying (I hope) that you will wear your safety belts while behind the wheel -- and that you will insist that everyone in the vehicle will be wearing them as well. And, if you enjoy a glass of "Christmas Cheer" -- please, I beg you.....turn your keys over to a friend. We want you around for many more years.
Another year draws to a close.........and I'd like to thank you -- on behalf of everyone at GM -- for your continued support and enthusiasm for our cars and trucks.
I personally thank you for your continued faith and support of the Camaro and Firebird Community.
May the new year hold for you and yours:
------------- great health, prosperity, happiness....and all that is good.
Scott
