About eight different engines were used in the Camaro for 1967, 10 in 1968 and 12 in 1969, ranging from a 3.6L straight-6 engine to the top of the line 7.0L V8, and all were mated to quite a number of transmissions also.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There was a myriad of option and appearance packages available to the consumers for the three years of production of the first generation of the Camaro.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0The RS was an appearance package that came with hidden headlights, back-up lights under the rear bumper, RS badging, reverse tail light and exterior bright colours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Z28 performance package was a further modification of the Camaro to compete in the SCCA Trans-Am series. It had a solid lifter 302 cubic inches (4.9 litres) V8 mated to a 4-speed manual transmission and stripes on the hood and trunk lid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1968-Chevrolet-Camaro-RS-Z28-1-750x421-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-591389\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1968-Chevrolet-Camaro-RS-Z28-1-750x421-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1968-Chevrolet-Camaro-RS-Z28-1-750x421-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1968-Chevrolet-Camaro-RS-Z28-1-750x421-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1968-Chevrolet-Camaro-RS-Z28-1-750x421-1-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1968-Chevrolet-Camaro-RS-Z28-1-750x421-1-293x164.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a>\r\n<figcaption><strong>1968 Chevrolet Camaro RS Z28<\/strong><br \/>302\/290 HP, 4-Speed \/ Source: Mecum<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Z28 Camaro<strong>,<\/strong>which was conceived by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hemmings.com\/stories\/article\/vince-piggins\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vince Piggins<\/a>, was a race car direct from the factory.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It had a 4.9 litre V8, a Muncie 4-speed manual close-ratio transmission. The engine had an aluminium intake manifold, a four-barrel Holley carburettor of 780 cfm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The whole package was designed specifically to meet the Trans-Am series regulations which is why the engine was 4.9L in displacement as this was the maximum allowed in the series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Chevrolet advertised the vehicle as producing 296 horsepower at 5300 RPM, however, this was not true. A vehicle produced 360 horsepower or 400 horsepower at 6800 to 7000 RPM depending on whether it was a single 4 barrel carburetors on a dual 4 barrel carburetors respectively.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The 1968 Camaro was similar to the 1967 design. A few changes were made like the addition of side marker lights on the front and the rear fenders which were a government requirement for all 1968 vehicles. The 1968 Z28 Camaro is easily identified because they carry the emblem &#8220;Z28&#8243;boldly on the fenders instead of the &#8220;302&#8221;on the 1967 model.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>More information on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mecum.com\/lots\/FA0820-433117\/1968-chevrolet-camaro-rs-z28\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1968 Camaro being auctioned can be found at Mecum website.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: center;\">1938 LaSalle Series 50 Coupe<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0In the 1920s, General Motors wanted to add companion cars to each of their divisions namely; <a href=\"https:\/\/sportscardigest.com\/cadillac-collection-offered-at-houston-auction\/\">Cadillac<\/a>, Buick, Oldsmobile and Oakland.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0At the top of the line, for the Cadillac there was the LaSalle, for the Buick there was Marquette, the Oldsmobile had Viking and at the bottom, Oakland had Pontiac; which is the only surviving of the four groups till today. These companion cars shared parts and platforms with their sister cars, the Cadillacs and others.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The LaSalles were an astonishing work of art. To commence the production of LaSalles, General Motors employed the services of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Harley_Earl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harley J. Earl<\/a> as the design engineer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The beautiful design of the LaSalle elevated him to the position of director of design for all General Motors products, as it was arguably the most beautiful of any American production for the 1927 model year. Harley J.Earl went on to serve at GM for about 32 years as the director of design.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>By 1938, more than 10 years since its debut, the LaSalle had experienced two redesigns. The first took place during the Great Depression of the 1930s and was an economical move that required them to move the last cell from the Cadillac two-door Oldsmobile platform in order to save production cost and lower consumer-price. It also used the Oldsmobile Straight 8 power plant.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0The second redesign had the LaSalle move back to the Cadillac platform as the economy began to pick up again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1938-LaSalle-Coupe-Street-Rod-1-1-750x421-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-591391\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1938-LaSalle-Coupe-Street-Rod-1-1-750x421-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1938-LaSalle-Coupe-Street-Rod-1-1-750x421-1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1938-LaSalle-Coupe-Street-Rod-1-1-750x421-1-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1938-LaSalle-Coupe-Street-Rod-1-1-750x421-1-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1938-LaSalle-Coupe-Street-Rod-1-1-750x421-1-293x164.jpg 293w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a>\r\n<figcaption><strong>1938 LaSalle Coupe Street Rod<\/strong><br \/>500 CI, Automatic \/ Source: Mecum<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0The 1938 LaSalle shared a great resemblance to the Cadillac series 60. This was because it shared a lot of components with the car of which some were the elliptic leaf spring rear suspension, the Hotchkiss drive, the front coil spring independent suspension and the same but slightly detuned V8 engine from the Cadillac (from 340 cubic inches to 322 cubic inches) which produced 125 horsepower at 3400 rpm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The 1938 LaSalle Series was very similar to the 1937 models with only a few notable changes. In the front, the egg-crate grille style remained the same but was two inches wider. The horns were mounted just behind the grille and the battery location changed. The headlights were mounted lower which caused the hood louvres to become longer more prominent and had an &#8220;alligator&#8221; front opening style.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The interior upgrades from the 1937 model included a total redesign of the dashboard and the gear selector was also moved to the steering column from the floor. All models showcased Fleetwood&#8217;s bodywork and rear-hinged front doors. Cadillac&#8217;s standard of quality and luxury were still rated as outstanding. The exquisitely furnished interior was carried over from the previous model year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The coupes of the 1938 model were one of the rarest LaSalles ever produced with only 819 running off the production line.
