As part of the Chevrolet centennial celebration festivities, Chevy fans were asked to vote for the best Chevrolet of all time. The result? The 1969 Camaro.

The last of the first generation F-bodies earned 25,058 of 124,368 votes cast. The next top vote getter was the 1970 Chevelle SS with 18,449 votes.

Tom Peters, Chevrolet Design director, said he believes the '69 Camaro is not only one of the best vehicles in Chevrolet's history but one of the best vehicles ever. He is a little biased, however, having owned the same 1969 Camaro for nearly 20 years.

"I can vividly remember seeing one for the first time as a kid," Peters said. "The intent of the Camaro was instantly understood, even to a 14-year-old like me, because it possessed a very powerful personality and an elegant, simple design. The Camaro was so cool because it offered this great style, high performance, and yet was attainable for someone just getting out of school."
