It’s party time for the Chevrolet Camaro. After six generations spanning 50 years, the city of Lansing will host a public celebration for the iconic sports car.
The Lansing State Journal reports the celebration will take place at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X Street, near the Lansing Grand River assembly plant. The event will include a Camaro car show, a display of the Camaro’s lineage and public tours of the Grand River plant.
Chief Camaro engineer, Al Oppenheiser, and additional Camaro team members will also be present for discussions.
“This is an unprecedented opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at building the Camaro from the ground up,” said Todd Christensen, Camaro marketing manager, in a statement. “Whether you’re a Camaro owner or simply a fan, it’s an event you won’t want to miss.”
The event takes place on August 18, coinciding with the 2016 Woodward Dream Cruise.
