Five Generations of Performance
|  After a few years hiatus, the Camaro is again in the spotlight and Camaro: Five Generations of Performance chronicles the rich history of an American muscle car era icon. This is the full story of Camaro's forty-plus years, accompanied by fabulous photographs of the models that made history.
Beginning with Chevrolet's race to capture the emerging youth market in the 1960s, the book follows the company's efforts to devise a car that would out-muscle the Mustang. The Camaro was that car, and in the years after its 1967 introduction, it set some of the most important performance marks in American automotive history. From the classics of the muscle-car era like the RS, SS, Z/28, and IROC-Z to the models that jump-started a new era of American performance in the 1980s, all of Camaro's greatest hits are detailed.
In flashing color and fine detail, Camaro captures the innovations and fierce competition as well as the changes in style and technology that make the story of this legendary car a part of the American automotive story. |

America's Team
|  The famous Chevy slogan touted baseball, hot dogs and apple pie, but football season is now in full swing. And when Chevy used that slogan, the Dallas Cowboys were America's team.
It wasn't always that way. During the late 1960s, the Cowboys were known as the team that couldn't win the big one, getting close to the top but failing to seal the deal. They were perpetually "next year's champions." That all changed in 1971 when the Boys rallied to capture their first-ever title and put the franchise on its way to becoming "America's Team." In Breakthrough 'Boys, Jaime Aron gets the inside stories from former players, coaches, and other key figures to explore the fascinating and tumultuous road the Cowboys took to their first championship 40 years ago under coach Tom Landry. Eight years after the assassination of JFK and seven years before the arrival of J.R. Ewing, this team gave the city of Dallas the new identity it needed and changed the face of football.
