I vaugely remember a comercial with a red Camaro "convertable?" cruising along the ocean.

Does anyone know of a link or something where I could see some of these commericals? I didn't even know that there were this many 4th gen commercials, I was only aware of the muscle car lives one.

Re: Why the big Hush Hush on the Camaro
Actually, most of the 4th gen Camaros dealt with rock n' roll, the only one I recall that didn't, and was GM sponsored (not a local dealership), was the one with the kids identifying cars by their engine sound. However, if you look hard enough, you should be able to find a local dealership one online where a guy thinks he is really cool coming home from work or something.
The Firebird commercials were overall much cooler, they seemed to play more with the coolness and bad-***-ness of the car.

Re: Why the big Hush Hush on the Camaro
Here, I went ahead and recorded the Camaro commercial with the kids identifying cars by sound for you guys. I'm sorry, but I can't do very good quality with this old digital camera from '97, but it beats nothing.

It said, "Go ahead, drive it alongside the ocean... this time it can't hurt you. The all-new Chevrolet Camaro. So much plastic, it can't rust.

Re: Why the big Hush Hush on the Camaro
the funny thing is that even though camaros advertising wasnt there. in the end there run (67 to 02) camaro sold about 2 million more cars than firebird.
