Detroit, Michigan - Chevrolet is inviting enthusiasts to name a special-edition Camaro SS that will make its public debut at the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association show in Las Vegas. The new model will arrive at dealers in the first quarter of 2015, wearing special emerald-green metallic paint and exclusive exterior trim elements.
Chevrolet will announce the winning name in November, when the car is revealed at SEMA, the world's largest trade show of automotive personalisation and performance.
Camaro marketing manager Todd Christensen said: "We've made a tradition of offering special-edition models each spring, but this is the first time we've turned to the community of Camaro fans to name one.”
