Car of the Week: 1968 Chevrolet Camaro
Somewhere along the line, Don and Gladys Cass's old car hobby almost turned into a game.
"How many car shows can you get to in a year behind the wheel of a 1968 Camaro?"
The answer is a lot - at least one every weekend that there isn't snow on the ground, if you plan things right. If you run a car show anywhere in Wisconsin, or within driving distance of their Stevens Point home, the affable, car-crazy couple are liable to come rolling in with their well-traveled Matador Red coupe.

The Firebird and Camaro weren't just an answer to the Ford Mustang, they were an answer to General Motors' fans prayers. They'll also be the focus of the 2017 Iola Car Show, to be held from July 6-8 in Iola, Wis.
Up to the creation of the Camaro and Firebird for the 1967 model year, GM performance enthusiasts went with the mid-size Chevelles and GTOs or full-size, big-block machines packaged with high-strength goodies. For anything smaller than a GTO or Chevelle SS, there was the unorthodox Tempest LeMans and the Corvair. With all these offerings, the Ford Mustang still left GM lovers wishing for a direct pony car competitor of their own.
