Re: Anyone know of a "Waikiki Special" 68 rag Camaro?
Here is some past text:
"Chevrolet has shown a wide array of Camaro concepts to the public over the past thirty or so years, including some beauties when the model was in its infancy. The first was the Waikiki Camaro, a convertible for the surfer crowd. Its sides were adorned with fake wood paneling, its tubular grille had rectangular headlamps, and it rode on spoke wheels. Naturally, if had a rack for your surfboard. As the decade was coming to a close, Chevy attached the Caribe name to a Camaro. Like many dream cars of the era, this one had a targa top. But instead of a backseat, the Caribe's roof swept back into a pickup truck bed, a la the El Camino. Another favorite was the Kammback, a sporty wagon based on the second-generation Camaro, which hearkened back to the Corvette Nomad wagon from the '54 Motorama".
Marty Schorr has a rearend view pic of the "Cherokee" on page 47 in "Chevrolet-The Performance Years".
