Today I get to tell you about some of the really cool things we have planned for Chevrolet's 100th anniversary!
Incase you haven't seen, Chevrolet has really gone all out to celebrate this great milestone. They recently held a vote to see what Chevy car or truck you thought was the best of all time and the '69 Camaro kept edging out the other Chevrolet models.

| 1969 Camaro - Chevrolet 100 |
By 1969 the Camaro was extremely popular. And though this was the final year of the Camaro's original iconic design, it went out with flying colors. The '69 Camaro paced the Indianapolis 500® for the second time. It was the first and only year the legendary aluminum ZL1 engine was offered, and the Z28® SS/RS performance package qualified the '69 Camaro to compete in the Trans-Am racing series. It's still considered one of the hottest-looking rides of the classic muscle car era. It had a 290-horsepower rating but tested at close to 400. This four-wheeled icon has graced the silver screen many times. InAlmost Famous, a young William Miller watches his sister drive off with her boyfriend in a blue 1969 Camaro coupe. And a slightly earlier version stars as the famous black beauty in Better Off Dead.
There are some other pretty cool things you can do over on the Chevrolet 100 website,
http://www.chevrolet.com/100-years/. They have created a
Pandora Radio station that plays all of the tunes that pay tribute to Chevrolet like Don McClean's "American Pie." Even I didn't realize there were that many songs about Chevys.
